  @article{ , abstract = {Active movement is essential for the survival of microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and unicellular parasites. In three dimensions, both swimming and gliding microorganisms often exhibit helical trajectories. One such case are malaria parasites gliding through 3D hydrogels, for which we find that the internal correlation time for the stochastic process generating propulsion is similar to the time taken for one helical turn. Motivated by this experimental finding, here we theoretically analyze the case of finite internal correlation time for microorganisms with helical trajectories as chiral active particles with an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for torque. We present an analytical solution which is in very good agreement with computer simulations. We then show that, for this type of internal noise, chirality and rotation increase the persistence of motion and results in helical trajectories that have a larger long-time mean squared displacement than straight trajectories at the same propulsion speed. Finally, we provide experimental evidence for this prediction for the case of malaria parasites.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Leon Lettermann and Falko Ziebert and Mirko Singer and Friedrich Frischknecht and Ulrich S.

  @article{ , abstract = {We study the partitioning of motile bacteria in an aqueous two-phase mixture of dextran (DEX) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), which can phase separate into DEX-rich and PEG-rich phases. While nonmotile bacteria partition exclusively into the DEX-rich phase in all conditions tested, we observed that motile bacteria penetrate the soft DEX-PEG interface and partition variably among the two phases. For our model organism Bacillus subtilis , the fraction of motile bacteria in the DEX-rich phase increased from 0.58 to 1 as we increased the DEX composition within the two-phase region. We hypothesized that the chemical affinity between DEX and the bacteria cell wall acts to weakly confine the bacteria within the DEX-rich phase; however, motility can generate sufficient mechanical forces to overcome the soft confinement and propel the bacteria into the PEG-rich phase. Using optical tweezers to drag a bacterium across the DEX-PEG interface, we demonstrate that the overall bacteria partitioning is determined by a competition between the interfacial forces and bacterial propulsive forces.

  @article{ , abstract = {Activation volume is a crucial concept in mechanochemistry because it describes how the applied mechanical energy facilitates chemical reactions. The activation volume can be determined readily from the load dependence of a chemical reaction based on the stress-assisted thermal activation theory (also known as the Bell model), but it is still very challenging to fully understand what activation volume means physically and how to compute it. Here, by introducing a concept of inherent stress difference ( σ T ) between the initial and transition states, which is associated with the displacement of reacting atoms, a universal formula of activation volume ( Δ V * ) for the interfacial reactions is derived, that is, Δ V * = ( V eff σ T / E ) , where E and V eff refer to the Young’s modulus and the volume influenced by reaction, respectively. This formula implicates that Δ V * is related to the volume change from the initial to transition states. Then, the first-principles calculation was used to confirm the validity of the proposed definition in diverse types of chemical reactions. This Letter provides clear physical insight into how a chemical reaction that is unlikely to occur under thermal conditions is facilitated by mechanical stress, explaining the core principle of mechanochemistry.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Yilong Jiang and Junyu Bin and Junhui Sun and Seong H.

  @article{ , abstract = {Stabilizing thermodynamically unstable phases in many-body systems, such as suppressing pathological neuronal synchronization in Parkinson’s disease or maintaining magnetic order across broad temperature ranges, remains a persistent challenge. In traditional approaches, such phases are stabilized through intervening in the dynamics of all system constituents or introducing additional interactions. Here, we offer a hitherto-unexplored alternative, namely, subsystem resetting, whereby intervention in the dynamics of only a part of the system, and that too only occasionally in time, is implemented through resetting its state to a reset configuration. Just playing with a few parameters, e.g., the nature of the reset configuration and the size of the reset subsystem, one achieves a remarkable and robust control over the phase diagram of the bare dynamics. We demonstrate that these universal effects span a wide variety of scenarios, including equilibrium and nonequilibrium, mean-field and non-mean-field dynamics, with and without quenched disorder.

We analyze its dynamics in terms of a velocity trapping that arises from correlations between the local density and the particle velocities. This allows us to formulate a conjecture for its out-of-equilibrium mixing timescale, and to rationalize its equilibrium superdiffusive timescale. Both scales are faster than for the (unlifted) TASEP. They are further justified by our analysis of the lifted TASEP in terms of many-particle realizations of true self-avoiding random walks.

Atomic-scale electron energy loss spectroscopy in scanning transmission electron microscopy identifies this mode as out-of-plane oxygen vibrations localized at double terminated interface.

  @article{ , abstract = {Magnet-free, far-field infrared nonreciprocal thermal radiation has been reported using Weyl semimetals or spatiotemporal modulation nanostructures, but these methods face challenges like requiring extremely low temperatures or high modulation frequencies and have limited spectral or angular ranges. Here, we demonstrate far-field nonreciprocal thermal Fizeau drag radiation around asymmetric exceptional points (EPs) by drifting electrons in graphene sheets on dielectric periodic nanostructures. First, the generation and evolution mechanisms of symmetric scattering EP pairs have been unveiled in parameter spaces (i.e., w − θ space, w and θ are filling ratio of gratings and incident angle respectively). The EP pairs are connected by bulk Fermi arc along the θ axis whose length can be tuned over the whole angular range by modifying dielectric optical index. Drifting electrons contribute to asymmetrically redistributing EPs with specific angular and spectral positions at low drifting velocities due to Fizeau drag effects. These nonreciprocal behaviors of EPs in angle space have been used to shape magnet-free infrared nonreciprocal emissivity and absorptivity with different numbers of resonant peaks, resulting in more than an order of magnitude increase in wavelength-integrated thermal nonreciprocity.

At a mechanistic level, the time-reversal symmetry breaking caused by the electronic chirality is shown to pronouncedly influence their vibrational properties through electron-phonon coupling. The electronic chirality in either chiral flux phase is accompanied by a nonzero molecular Berry curvature, which in turn manifests as a nonlocal effective magnetic field of vectorial nature acting on the phonons.

Here we develop a first-principles method to determine the bare charge distribution, which thus enables accurate calculations of the scattering. Using this method, we accurately calculate the electron mobility of 2D under the scattering of charged sulfur vacancies and compare with that of charge-neutral oxygen substitutes of sulfur. Interestingly, we find that the charged defect-limited mobility exhibits a strong temperature dependence at low temperature and carrier concentration, in contrast to the neutral defect and the conventional belief that the defect-limited mobility is less sensitive to the temperature. This behavior arises from the free carrier screening of the long-range scattering potential of the charged defect.

This observation is in agreement with previous direct transport measurements and confirms the applicability of this novel method. For the two-carrier regime, the extracted entropy indicates a nondegenerate ground state at zero magnetic field, contrary to previous studies suggesting a threefold degeneracy.

Such driven and dissipative quantum many-body systems have recently been realized in experiments involving ultracold gases inside optical cavities and are known to obey mean-field predictions in the thermodynamic limit .

While we find that beyond-mean-field effects vanish quickly with increasing in the balanced Dicke model, we are able to identify parameter regimes in the unbalanced Dicke model that allow genuine quantum effects to persist even for mesoscopic . They manifest themselves in a strong squeezing of the steady state and a modification of the steady-state phase diagram that cannot be seen in a mean-field description. This is due to the fact that the steady-state limit and thermodynamic limit do not commute.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Kai Müller and Walter T.

However, it remains challenging to characterize superconductivity in existing cold-atom quantum simulation platforms.

The protocol only requires global controls followed by site-resolved particle number measurements—capabilities that have been already demonstrated in multiple experiments—and is designed by analyzing the Hilbert space of fermions on two sites. The protocol is sample-efficient and we further optimize our pulses for robustness to experimental imperfections such as lattice inhomogeneity.

  @article{ , abstract = {The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has significantly advanced our ability to study black holes, achieving unprecedented spatial resolution and revealing horizon-scale structures. Notably, these observations feature a distinctive dark shadow—primarily arising from faint jet emissions—surrounded by a bright photon ring. Anticipated upgrades of the EHT promise substantial improvements in dynamic range, enabling deeper exploration of low-background regions, particularly the inner shadow defined by the lensed equatorial horizon. Our analysis shows that observations of these regions transform supermassive black holes into powerful probes for annihilating dark matter, which is expected to accumulate densely in their vicinity. By analyzing the black hole image morphology and performing electron-positron propagation calculations in realistic plasma backgrounds derived from general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we set stringent constraints on dark matter annihilation, requiring contributions below the astrophysical emission. These constraints, derived from both current EHT observations and projections for future upgraded arrays, exclude a substantial region of previously unexplored parameter space and remain robust against astrophysical uncertainties, including black hole spin and plasma temperature variations.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Yifan Chen and Ran Ding and Yuxin Liu and Yosuke Mizuno and Jing Shu and Haiyue Yu and Yanjie Zeng}, doi = {10.1103/yxqg-363n}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {9}, number = {12}, pages = {121001}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Recent advances in synthetic methods enable designing subunits that self-assemble into structures with precise, finite sizes and well-defined architectures, but yields are frequently suppressed by the formation of off-target metastable structures. Increasing the complexity (the number of distinct subunit types) can inhibit off-target structures, but leads to slower kinetics and higher synthesis costs. Here, we study icosahedral shells formed of programmable triangular subunits as a model system, and identify design principles that produce the highest target yield at the lowest complexity. We use a symmetry-based construction to create a range of design complexities, starting from the maximal symmetry Caspar-Klug assembly up to the fully addressable, zero-symmetry assembly. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations reveal that the most prominent defects leading to off-target assemblies are disclinations at sites of rotational symmetry. We derive symmetry-based rules for identifying the optimal (lowest complexity, highest symmetry) design that inhibits these disclinations, leading to robust high-fidelity assembly of targets with arbitrarily large, yet precise, finite sizes. The optimal complexity varies nonmonotonically with target size, with “magic” sizes appearing for high-symmetry designs in which symmetry axes do not intersect vertices of the triangular net. The optimal designs at magic sizes require 12 times fewer inequivalent interaction types than the (minimal symmetry) fully addressable construction, which greatly reduces the timescale and experimental cost required to achieve high-fidelity assembly of large targets.

  @article{ , abstract = {Previous work showed that thermal light with a blackbody spectrum cannot be decomposed into a mixture of independent localized pulses. However, we find that in the weak-source limit and under the assumption of a flat spectrum, the first nonvacuum term in the state expansion does form a mixture of such pulses. This decomposition is essential for quantum-enhanced astronomical interferometry, which typically operates on localized pulses even though stellar light is inherently continuous-wave. We present a quantum derivation of the van Cittert–Zernike theorem that incorporates finite bandwidth, thereby justifying the operations on localized pulses while processing continuous-wave thermal light. For general spectra in the weak-source limit, we establish a criterion under which correlations between pulses can be safely neglected. When this criterion is not met, we provide a corrected strategy that accurately accounts for both the spectral profile and the detector-defined pulse shape.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Yunkai Wang and Yujie Zhang and Virginia O.

  @article{ , abstract = {We experimentally and theoretically study collective emission of a dense atomic ensemble coupled to a single mode in a nanophotonic microring resonator. Because many cold atoms are localized in a small volume, these trapped atoms collectively couple not only to the guided resonator mode but also to the nonguided modes in free space. Through tuning the atom-photon coupling and by adjusting the number of trapped atoms, we demonstrate superradiant emission to the microring resonator. For photon emission via the nonguided modes, our study reveals signatures of subradiance and superradiance when the system is driven to the steady state and to the timed-Dicke state, respectively. Our experimental platform thus presents the first atom-light interface with selective collective emission behavior into a guided mode and the environment. Our observation and methodology could shed light on future explorations of collective emission with densely packed quantum emitters coupled to nanophotonic light-matter interfaces.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Xinchao Zhou and Deepak A.

  @article{ , abstract = {We investigate the fundamental problem of a small density of bosonic impurities immersed in a dilute Bose gas at zero temperature. Using a rigorous perturbative expansion, we show that the presence of the surrounding medium enhances the repulsion between dressed bosonic impurities (polarons) in the regime of weak interactions. Crucially, this differs from prevailing theories based on Landau quasiparticles, which neglect the possibility of quantum degenerate impurities and predict an exchange-induced attraction. We furthermore show that the polaron-polaron interactions are strongly modified if the medium chemical potential rather than the density is held fixed, such that the medium-induced attraction between thermal impurities becomes twice the expected Landau effective interaction. Our work provides a possible explanation for the differing signs of the polaron-polaron interactions observed in experiments across cold atomic gases and two-dimensional semiconductors, and it has important implications for theories of quasiparticles and quantum mixtures in general.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jesper Levinsen and Olivier Bleu and Meera M.

  @article{ , abstract = {Modulational instability (MI) is a fundamental phenomenon in the study of nonlinear dynamics, spanning diverse areas such as shallow water waves, optics, and ultracold atomic gases. In particular, the nonlinear stage of MI has recently been a topic of intense exploration and has been shown to manifest, in many cases, in the generation of dispersive shock waves (DSWs). In this Letter, we experimentally probe the MI dynamics in an immiscible two-component ultracold atomic gas with exclusively repulsive interactions, catalyzed by a hard-wall-like boundary produced by a repulsive optical barrier. We analytically describe the expansion rate of the DSWs in this system, generalized to arbitrary intercomponent interaction strengths and species ratios. We observe excellent agreement among the analytical results, an effective 1D numerical model, full 3D numerical simulations, and experimental data. Additionally, we extend this scenario to the interaction between two counterpropagating DSWs, which leads to the production of Peregrine soliton structures. These results further demonstrate the versatility of atomic platforms toward the controlled realization of DSWs and rogue waves.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {S. Mossman and S. I.

• (2025). Molecular wave plate for the control of ultrashort pulses carrying orbital angular momentum. PRL, 135(11), 113201. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {Ultrashort laser pulses carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have become essential tools in atomic, molecular, and optical studies, particularly for investigating strong-field light-matter interactions. However, controlling and generating ultrashort vortex pulses presents significant challenges, since their broad spectral content complicates manipulation with conventional optical elements, while the high peak power inherent in short-duration pulses risks damaging optical components. To address these challenges, we demonstrate a “molecular wave plate” as a promising way for generating and controlling broadband ultrashort vortex beams. By exploiting the nonadiabatic alignment of linear gas-phase molecules induced by vector beams, the interaction between the vector beam and the gas-phase molecules results in spatially varying polarizability, imparting a phase modulation to a probe laser. This process effectively creates a tunable molecular wave plate that adapts naturally to a broad spectral range. By leveraging this approach, we can generate ultrashort vortex pulses across a wide range of wavelengths. Under optimized gas pressure and interaction length conditions, this method allows for highly efficient, near unity, conversion of circularly polarized light into the desired OAM pulse, thus enabling the generation of few-cycle, high-intensity vortex beams. This molecular wave plate, which overcomes the limitations imposed by conventional optical elements, opens up new possibilities for exploring strong-field physics, ultrafast science, and other applications that require high-intensity vortex beams.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Chengqing Xu and Lixin He and Wanchen Tao and Xiaosong Zhu and Feng Wang and Long Xu and Lu Xu and Pengfei Lan and Ilya Averbukh and Yehiam Prior and Peixiang Lu}, doi = {10.1103/j2jj-1jns}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {9}, number = {11}, pages = {113201}, shortjournal = {Phys.

• (2025). Measurement of two-point energy correlators within jets in p+p collisions at s=200 GeV. PRL, 135(11), 111901. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {Hard-scattered partons ejected from high-energy proton-proton collisions undergo parton shower and hadronization, resulting in collimated collections of particles that are clustered into jets. A substructure observable that highlights the transition between the perturbative and nonperturbative regimes of jet evolution in terms of the angle between two particles is the two-point energy correlator (EEC). In this Letter, the first measurement of the EEC at RHIC is presented, using data taken from 200 GeV collisions by the STAR experiment. The EEC is measured both for all the pairs of particles in jets and separately for pairs with like and opposite electric charges. These measurements demonstrate that the transition between perturbative and nonperturbative effects occurs within an angular region that is consistent with expectations of a universal hadronization regime that scales with jet momentum for a given initiator flavor. Additionally, a deviation from Monte Carlo predictions at small angles in the charge-selected sample could result from mechanics of hadronization not fully captured by current models.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {STAR Collaboration and B. E.

  @article{ , abstract = {Proton and neutron decays into light new particles X can drastically change the experimental signatures and benefit from the complementarity of large water-Cherenkov neutrino detectors such as Super- and Hyper-Kamiokande and tracking detectors such as JUNO and DUNE. The proton decays p → ℓ + X and p → π + X with m X near phase-space closure lead to charged particles below the Cherenkov threshold, rendering them practically invisible in Super- and Hyper-Kamiokande but not in JUNO and DUNE, which are therefore uniquely positioned for these baryon-number-violating signatures despite their smaller size. As an additional signature, such nucleon decays in the Earth can produce a sizable flux of X particles in underground detectors. We present a simple model in which nucleons decay into sub-GeV sterile neutrinos that subsequently decay through active-sterile neutrino mixing, with a promisingly large number of events in Super-Kamiokande even in the seesaw-motivated parameter space.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Julian Heeck and Ian M.

• (2025). Evidence for longitudinally polarized w bosons in the electroweak production of same-sign w boson pairs in association with two jets in pp collisions at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector. PRL, 135(11), 111802. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {This Letter reports the first evidence of electroweak production of same-sign boson pairs where at least one of the bosons is longitudinally polarized and the most stringent constraint to date for the production of two longitudinally polarized same-sign bosons. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected with the ATLAS detector during run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. The study is performed in final states including two same-sign leptons (electrons or muons), missing transverse momentum, and at least two jets with a large invariant mass and a large rapidity difference. Two independent fits are performed targeting the production of same-sign bosons with at least one, or two longitudinally polarized bosons. The observed (expected) significance of the production with at least one longitudinally polarized boson is 3.3 (4.0) standard deviations. An observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit of 0.45 (0.70) fb is reported on the fiducial production cross section of two longitudinally polarized same-sign bosons.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {ATLAS Collaboration and G.

  @article{ , abstract = {Superradiance emerges from collective spontaneous emission in optically pumped gases, and is characterized by photon emission enhancements of up to in an atom system. The gain mechanism derives from correlations developed within the decay medium rather than from stimulated emission as in lasing, so an analog of this process should be possible for fermionic final states. We introduce here the concept of superradiant neutrino emission from a radioactive Bose Einstein condensate, which can form the basis for a superradiant neutrino laser. A plausible experimental realization based on a condensate of electron-capture isotope could exhibit effective radioactive decay rates accelerated from 86.2 days to minutes in viably sized rubidium condensates of atoms.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {B. J. P.

  @article{ , abstract = {The gravitational-wave signal GW250114 was observed by the two LIGO detectors with a network matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 80. The signal was emitted by the coalescence of two black holes with near-equal masses and , and small spins (90% credibility) and negligible eccentricity . Postmerger data excluding the peak region are consistent with the dominant quadrupolar mode of a Kerr black hole and its first overtone. We constrain the modes’ frequencies to of the Kerr spectrum, providing a test of the remnant’s Kerr nature. We also examine Hawking’s area law, also known as the second law of black hole mechanics, which states that the total area of the black hole event horizons cannot decrease with time. A range of analyses that exclude up to five of the strongest merger cycles confirm that the remnant area is larger than the sum of the initial areas to high credibility.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {LIGO Scientific, Virgo, and KAGRA Collaborations and A. G.

  @article{ , abstract = {Next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors are expected to detect millions of binary black hole mergers during their operation period. A small fraction ( ∼ 0.1 – 1 % ) of them will be strongly lensed by intervening galaxies and clusters, producing multiple copies of the GW signals. The expected number of lensed events and the distribution of the time delay between lensed images will depend on the mass distribution of the lenses at different redshifts. Warm dark matter and fuzzy dark matter models predict lower abundances of low-mass dark matter halos as compared to the standard cold dark matter. This will result in a reduction in the number of strongly lensed GW events, especially with small time delays. Using the number of lensed events and the lensing time delay distribution, we will be able to put a lower bound on the mass of the warm and fuzzy dark matter particles from a catalog of lensed GW events. Our first forecasts suggest that the expected bounds from GW strong lensing from next-generation detectors are better than the current constraints.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Souvik Jana and Shasvath J.

We propose a novel framework to detect a cosmological gravitational-wave background in the presence of binary black holes and binary neutron star signals with next-generation ground-based detectors, including Cosmic Explorer and the Einstein Telescope. Our procedure involves first removing all the individually resolved binary black hole signals by notching them out in the time-frequency domain.

We introduce a dark-QED toy model consisting of a dark photon and a heavy dark electron. In this scenario a population of light primordial black holes charged under the dark symmetry can become quasiextremal, so they survive much longer than if they were uncharged, before discharging and exhibiting a Schwarzschild-like final explosion.

Critically, the resonant conversion radius lies within the region expected for axion-photon conversion, introducing a nonradiative power loss that diminishes the anticipated photon flux. Our analysis demonstrates that this effect can reduce radio telescope sensitivities, shifting them into regions excluded by previous experiments. These findings compel a reassessment of experimental constraints derived from radio signatures of axion-photon conversions and highlight the necessity of accounting for plasmon effects in astrophysical axion searches.

The work extraction protocols consist of quenches and thermalization processes, which serve as fundamental building blocks for various thermodynamic protocols, such as heat engines.

After validating the method on simulated data with embedded short- and long-range correlations, we applied it to cortical organoids derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells, recorded via multielectrode arrays over 250 day. The analysis revealed a peak in complexity, as indicated by the CV of H , around the 100th day. At this stage, the organoids exhibited a wide repertoire of dynamic patterns, including both isolated spiking and highly synchronized network events. These results suggest that organoid activity undergoes a structured evolution in complexity and that CV of H provides a robust metric to capture this transition.

By further analyzing the graviton excitations of Moore-Read states, we unveil that the ground states exhibit a mixed behavior of Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian, despite the weak breaking of particle-hole symmetry. In a double twisted bilayer graphene model, transitions between these phases can be driven by the coupling strength between the layers: at weak coupling there is a CFL phase and at strong coupling a CDW order emerges.

  @article{ , abstract = {Non-Hermitian systems, distinguished by the presence of exceptional points and non-Hermitian topological states, have transformed sensing technologies through the implementation of novel physical mechanisms. However, despite their demonstrated potential, existing non-Hermitian sensors are predominantly limited to static operational configurations, which substantially restricts their effects in detecting time-varying signals. Here, we transcend this limitation by introducing a new sensing framework: non-Hermitian Floquet topological sensors (NHFTSs). This approach harnesses the synergistic interplay among time-periodic driving, nonlinear dynamics, and non-Hermitian topology to enable ultrasensitive detection of dynamic signals. NHFTSs establish nonlinear non-Hermitian Floquet topological zero modes as robust global attractors. These modes manifest extraordinary sensitivity to dynamic boundary perturbations, exhibiting frequency shifts that scale exponentially with system size. Moreover, NHFTSs possess exceptional resilience against both background noise and structural perturbations, a feature enabled by the dual protective mechanisms of nonlinear stability and topological band gaps. Notably, the signal-to-noise ratio of NHFTSs can be exponentially amplified through sensor size scaling. We experimentally validate the NHFTS using time-varying topolectrical circuits, demonstrating their unparalleled capability in detecting dynamic electrical signals with high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratios.

  @article{ , abstract = {Large single-atom cooperativity in quantum systems is important for quantum information processing. Here, we propose to exponentially enhance the single-atom cooperativity parameter by exploiting the strongly localized effect of modes in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) systems. By increasing the wing width of a cavity with special geometry symmetry, the interference property allows us to exponentially improve the quality factor without altering the mode volume for cavities supporting subwavelength light modes. This effectively overcomes the trade-off between and in conventional subwavelength Fabry-Pérot cavities. Consequently, we demonstrate the occurrence of ultralong vacuum Rabi oscillations and the generation of strong photon blockade by enhancing the single-atom cooperativity parameter.

  @article{ , abstract = {String breaking is a fundamental concept in gauge theories, describing the decay of a flux string connecting two charges through the production of particle–antiparticle pairs. This phenomenon is particularly important in particle physics, notably in quantum chromodynamics, and plays a crucial role in condensed matter physics.

On the experimental side, studying these effects necessitates advanced setups, such as high-energy colliders, which makes direct observation difficult. Here, we report an experimental investigation of the string breaking mechanism in a one-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theory using an optical lattice quantum simulator. By deterministically preparing initial states of varying lengths with fixed charges at each end, and adiabatically tuning the mass and string tension, we observed in situ microscopic confined phases that exhibit either string or broken-string states. Further analysis reveals that string breaking occurs under a resonance condition, leading to the creation of new particle–antiparticle pairs.

While measuring the sum of d parameters at the Heisenberg limit can be achieved with a single nonvacuum input, we show that two inputs, one of which can be classical, are required to measure an arbitrary linear combination of d parameters and an arbitrary global function of the parameters. We obtain a universal and tight upper bound on the sensitivity of DQM networks with two inputs, and completely characterize the properties of the nonclassical input required to obtain a quantum advantage. This reveals that a wide range of nonclassical states makes this possible, including a squeezed vacuum.

  @article{ , abstract = {Effective thermal regulation is increasingly vital in numerous technological applications. The recent progress on topological diffusion in thermal materials offers promising potential. A distinct feature of diffusive systems is that their anti-Hermitian characteristics ensure purely imaginary eigenvalues representing decay rates, where higher decay rates imply better heat dissipation efficiency. Although research on higher-order topology has been extensive across various systems, investigations specifically of diffusive systems are just beginning. In particular, the few studies on the corner states are limited in their controllability. In this Letter, inspired by the concepts of the atomic p orbital and higher-orbital topology, we introduce multipolar thermal modes in the domain wall between two thermal kagome lattices to achieve multiple corner states. Diverging from traditional research on kagome lattices, we discovered higher-decay-rate corner states above the third band and linked their properties to multipolar modes localized at the domain wall. This approach not only enables higher-decay-rate corner states but also explores new dimensions of control over them. We theoretically identify and experimentally observe various corner states in a two-dimensional diffusive system. It is also demonstrated that simple thermal pulses can trigger transitions between different corner states, thereby dynamically enhancing the decay rate.

In this scenario, the plasma electrons are nearly completely rarefied from the beam channel, leaving only a nominally uniform ion-filled “bubble.” Extensive investigations of this interaction assuming axisymmetry have been undertaken. However, the blowout produced by a transversely asymmetric (flat) driver, which would be present in linear collider “afterburner” schemes, possesses quite different characteristics. Such beams create an asymmetric plasma bubble which leads to unequal focusing in the two transverse dimensions, accompanied by a nonuniform accelerating gradient. The asymmetric blowout cross section is found through simulation to be elliptical, and treating it as such permits a simple extension of the symmetric theory. In particular, focusing fields linear in both transverse directions inside the bubble are found. The form of the wake potential and the associated beam-matching conditions in this elliptical cavity are discussed. We also examine blowout boundary estimation in the long driver limit and applications of the salient asymmetric features of the wakefield.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {P. Manwani and Y. Kang and J.

Using controlled experiments, we systematically measure the shape of an isolated meniscus placed in a vertical soap film. By increasing the film thickness, we identify a flowing regime in which the flux from the film significantly enlarges the meniscus. We present an analytical model that extends the drainage equation to incorporate this dynamical effect and introduce a gravito-exchange length, which sets the minimum meniscus thickness. The model is in quantitative agreement with experiments, capturing the transition between hydrostatic and flowing menisci.

  @article{ , abstract = {Rydberg atom radio-frequency sensors are a unique platform for precision electromagnetic field measurement; e.g., they have extraordinary carrier bandwidth spanning MHz to THz and can be self-calibrated. These photonic sensors use lasers to prepare and read out the atomic response to a radio-frequency electromagnetic field. Most work on Rydberg atom sensors centers on radio-frequency electric field strength because the sensor functions as a square law detector, unless an external radio-frequency heterodyning field is used. A heterodyning field acts as a local oscillator and enables phase readout at the expense of the radio-frequency equipment necessary to generate it. In order to overcome the disadvantages of a radio-frequency local oscillator, we investigate all-optical phase-sensitive detection using a five-level closed-loop excitation scheme. We show that under finite detuning of the loop fields, the atomic response oscillates at the frequency of the detuning. The oscillation is transferred to a probe laser absorption signal. The phase, frequency, and amplitude of the radio-frequency signal are imprinted on the oscillatory dynamics and can be determined using demodulation and matched filter techniques applied to the probe laser transmission signal.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Matthias Schmidt and Stephanie M.

This strongly hampers the development of nanomaterials, such as those based on rare earth ions, for quantum communication and processing. In this work, we propose, and demonstrate in an erbium doped crystal, a measurement of photon echoes based on incoherent fluorescence detection and its variance analysis. It gives access to T 2 through a much larger signal than direct photon echo detection, and, importantly, with a laser which is incoherent over the measurement timescale, on the order of a few T 2 .

In this Letter, we show experimentally that the precise Kibble-Zurek scaling can be retained in the near-critical crossover regime, not necessarily crossing the critical point strictly. The key ingredient to achieving this near-critical Kibble-Zurek scaling is that the system size and the symmetry-breaking field must be appropriately scaled following the variation of ramping speeds. The experiment is performed in a reconfigurable Rydberg atom array platform, where the Rydberg blockade effect induces a symmetry-breaking transition. The atom array platform enables precise control of the system size and the zigzag geometry as a symmetry-breaking field. Therefore, we can demonstrate notable differences in the precision of the Kibble-Zurek scaling with or without properly scaling the system size and the zigzag geometry.

  @article{ , abstract = {Short-distance constraints from the operator product expansion in QCD play an important role in the evaluation of the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Holographic QCD has been shown to naturally incorporate the Melnikov-Vainshtein constraint on the longitudinal amplitude following from the triangle anomaly in the asymmetric limit, where one photon virtuality remains small compared to the others. This is saturated by an infinite tower of axial vector mesons, and their numerical contribution to the muon in AdS/QCD models agrees rather well with a recent dispersive analysis. However, in AdS/QCD, the longitudinal short-distance constraint where all virtualities are large turns out to be matched only at the level of 81%. In this Letter we show that tensor mesons, whose contribution to the muon has recently been found to be underestimated, can fill this gap because in holographic QCD their infinite tower of excited mesons only contributes to the symmetric longitudinal short-distance constraint. Numerically, they give rise to a sizeable positive contribution from the low-energy region below 1.5 GeV, a small one from the mixed region, and a negligible one from the high-energy region, which could explain the remaining gap between the most recent dispersive and lattice results for the complete hadronic light-by-light contribution.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jonas Mager and Luigi Cappiello and Josef Leutgeb and Anton Rebhan}, doi = {10.1103/dxwr-gpsl}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {8}, number = {9}, pages = {091901}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Muon colliders provide an exciting new direction to expand the energy frontier of particle physics. We point out a new use of these facilities for neutrino and beyond the standard model physics using their main detectors. Muon decays along the accelerator rings create an intense and highly collimated neutrino beam that crosses a thin slice of the kt-scale detector. As a result, it would induce an unprecedented number of neutrino interactions, with O ( 10 4 ) events per second for a 10 TeV μ + μ − collider. These interactions are highly energetic and possess a distinct timing signature and a large transverse displacement. We discuss promising applications of these events for instrumentation, electroweak, and beyond-the-standard model physics. For instance, a subpercent measurement of the neutrino-electron scattering rate enables new precision measurements of the Weak angle and a novel detection of the neutrino charge radius.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Luc Bojorquez-Lopez and Matheus Hostert and Carlos A.

We utilize black hole perturbation theory techniques to compute the spectrum of these far-from-equilibrium quasinormal modes for a kinetic theory with a Fokker-Planck collision kernel in isotropic and homogeneous states. Our conclusion is that quasinormal modes of nonthermal fixed points give rise to a tower of progressively more decaying power-law contributions.

Neutral atoms trapped in optical potentials can realize such processors, where nonlocal fermionic statistics are guaranteed at the hardware level.

In this Letter, we overcome this constraint and present a blueprint for an error-corrected fermionic quantum processor that can be implemented using current experimental capabilities. To achieve this, we first consider an ancillary set of fermionic modes and design a fermionic reference , which we then use to construct superpositions of different numbers of referenced fermions . This allows us to build logical fermionic modes that can be error corrected using standard atomic operations. Here, we focus on phase errors, which we expect to be a dominant source of errors in neutral-atom quantum processors. We then construct logical fermionic gates, and show their implementation for the logical particle-number conserving processes relevant for quantum simulation. Finally, our protocol is illustrated with a minimal fermionic circuit, where it leads to a quadratic suppression of the logical error rate.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Robert Ott and Daniel González-Cuadra and Torsten V.

We employ the two-orbital Hubbard-Hund-Heisenberg model and study, via numerically exact quantum many-body methods, the dynamics of its Néel vector and nonequilibrium magnetization. This reveals nonclassical (i.e., not describable by the Landau-Lifshitz equation) dynamics of Néel vector and nonequilibrium magnetization, changing only in length while not rotating, where the former is substantially reduced in the case of above-gap fsLPs. Additionally, we compute EM radiation by time dependence of magnetization or of local charge currents, finding that both contributions are significant in the THz frequency range only in NiO with proximity SOC introduced by the HM layer. Outside the THz range, we find an integer high-harmonic generation, as well as unusual noninteger harmonics for the above-gap fsLP pump.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Federico Garcia-Gaitan and Adrian E.

These show a two-peaked structure, with a Schottky-like peak at T 1 ∼ 0.065 K , similar to what is observed in its sister Ce pyrochlores Ce 2 Zr 2 O 7 and Ce 2 Sn 2 O 7 . However, a second sharper peak is observed at T 2 ∼ 0.025 K , signifying the entrance to the ground state. The ground state appears to have gapped excitations, as even the most abrupt extrapolation to C P = 0 at T = 0 K fully accounts for the R ln ( 2 ) entropy associated with the pseudospin- 1 / 2 doublet for Ce 3 + in this environment. The ground state could be conventionally ordered, although theory predicts a much larger anomaly in C P at much higher temperatures than the measured T 2 for expectations from an all-in, all-out ground state of the XYZ Hamiltonian for Ce 2 Hf 2 O 7 . The sharp low-temperature peak could also signify a crossover from a classical spin liquid to a quantum spin liquid (QSL).

The diffuse magnetic neutron scattering observed from Ce 2 Hf 2 O 7 at low temperatures between T 2 and T 1 resembles that observed from Ce 2 Zr 2 O 7 , which is well established as a π -flux quantum spin ice (QSI).

In contrast, in crystals with the d vector aligned along the high-symmetry directions, we find no appreciable change in lattice constant. Together with a pronounced vestigial behavior of the distortion, the results are clear evidence for an odd-parity E u order parameter that couples with trigonal lattice. Furthermore, in the crystal with x = 0.46 where diamagnetic susceptibility is isotropic in the plane, no lattice distortion accompanying the superconducting transition is found, which is in line with a chiral superconducting state in the highly doped region.

This is the first measurement to use data from all five years of operation of the MicroBooNE experiment, corresponding to an exposure of protons on target, a 70% increase on past results. Two samples of electron neutrino interactions without visible pions are used, one with visible protons and one without any visible protons. The MicroBooNE data show reasonable agreement with the nominal prediction, with values when the two samples are combined, though the prediction exceeds the data in limited regions of phase space. The data are further compared to two empirical models that modify the predicted rate of electron-neutrino interactions in different variables in the simulation to match the unfolded MiniBooNE low energy excess. In the first model, this unfolding is performed as a function of electron neutrino energy, while the second model aims to match the observed shower energy and angle distributions of the MiniBooNE excess.

First, we resolve this degeneracy by including external constraints on ν e disappearance from the PROSPECT reactor experiment. Second, by properly analyzing the full three-dimensional parameter space, we demonstrate that the stronger-than-sensitivity exclusion from MicroBooNE alone already covers the entire 2 σ preferred regions of MiniBooNE at the level of 2 − 3 σ .

As the inspiraling binary interacts with the surrounding dark matter particles, it alters the density of the spike, thereby influencing the γ -ray flux from dark matter annihilation. We demonstrate that the spike self-annihilation luminosity decreases by 10% to 90% of its initial value, depending on the initial density profile and binary mass ratio, as the binary sweeps through the LISA band.

In this physical model, which has the same number of free parameters as Λ CDM , DE production is determined by the cosmic star formation rate density (SFRD), allowing for distinct early- and late-time cosmologies. Using two SFRDs to bracket current observations, we find that the CCBH model: accurately recovers the cosmological expansion history, agrees with early-time baryon abundance measured by BBN, reduces tension with the local distance ladder, and relaxes constraints on the summed neutrino mass ∑ m ν . For these SFRDs, we find a peaked positive ∑ m ν < 0.149 eV (95% confidence) and ∑ m ν = 0.106 − 0.069 + 0.050 eV , respectively, in good agreement with lower limits from neutrino oscillation experiments.

  @article{ , abstract = {Quantum computing is expected to provide an exponential speedup in machine learning. However, optimizing the data loading process, commonly referred to as “quantum data embedding,” to maximize classification performance remains a critical challenge. In this Letter, we propose a neural quantum embedding (NQE) technique based on deterministic quantum computation with one qubit (DQC1). Unlike the traditional embedding approach, NQE trains a neural network to maximize the trace distance between quantum states corresponding to different categories of classical data. Furthermore, training is efficiently achieved using DQC1, which is specifically designed for ensemble quantum systems, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We validate the NQE-DQC1 protocol by encoding handwritten images into NMR quantum processors, demonstrating a significant improvement in distinguishability compared to traditional methods. Additionally, after training the NQE, we implement a parametrized quantum circuit for classification tasks, achieving 98% classification accuracy, in contrast to the 54% accuracy obtained using traditional embedding. Moreover, we show that the NQE-DQC1 protocol is extendable, enabling the use of the NMR system for NQE training due to its high compatibility with DQC1, while subsequent machine learning tasks can be performed on other physical platforms, such as superconducting circuits.

This approach allows us to analytically determine how the topological order varies with the generic choices of bivariate-bicycle codes under toric layouts.

In a 1D disordered chain, the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) can induce Anderson delocalization, defying the usual rule that disorder in low dimensions always localizes states. While weak disorder leaves the NHSE intact, strong disorder restores Anderson localization. Here, we study a surprising twist: coupling a strongly disordered Hatano-Nelson chain to a disordered Hermitian chain with their disorder antisymmetrically correlated. Strikingly, once the interchain coupling exceeds a threshold, the system undergoes Anderson delocalization irrespective of disorder strength, reinstating the NHSE with no Hermitian counterpart. This transition arises from the interplay of nonreciprocal hopping, interchain coupling, and engineered disorder correlations, and is captured by a real-space winding number. To confirm this, we build an electrical-circuit analog and directly observe the reemergent NHSE via voltage measurements.

In this Letter, we first construct a three band Lieb-like lattice model with an isolated flat band and tunable quantum metric. By introducing nearest neighbor equal spin pairing, we obtain the Lieb-Kitaev model which supports MZMs. When the Fermi energy is set within the flat band energy, the MZMs, which are supposed to be well localized at the ends of the 1D superconductor due to the flatness of the band, appear. On the contrary, we show both numerically and analytically that the localization length of the MZMs is controlled by a length scale defined by the quantum metric of the flat band, which we call the quantum metric length (QML). The QML can be several orders of magnitude longer than the conventional BCS superconducting coherence length. When the QML is comparable to the length of the superconductor, the two MZMs from the two ends of the superconductor can hybridize and induce ultra long range crossed Andreev reflections. This Letter unveils how the quantum metric can greatly influence the properties of MZMs through the QML, and the results can be generalized to other topological bound states.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Xingyao Guo and Xinglei Ma and Xuzhe Ying and K. T.

Investigating AMSs in these systems, particularly in the absence of an external magnetic field, could offer valuable insights into the dimensionality-driven emergence of exotic quantum phenomena, including triplet Cooper pairing, phase fluctuation dynamics, and especially the recently discovered field-free superconducting diode effects.

  @article{ , abstract = {The ability to slow down light at the single-photon level has applications in quantum information processing and other quantum technologies. We demonstrate two methods, both using just a single artificial atom, enabling dynamic control over microwave light velocities in waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED). Our methods are based on two distinct mechanisms harnessing the balance between radiative decay and nonradiative decoherence rates of a superconducting artificial atom in front of a mirror. In the first method, we tune the radiative decay of the atom using interference effects due to the mirror; in the second method, we pump the atom to effectively control its nonradiative decoherence. When the half of the radiative decay rate exceeds the nonradiative decoherence rate, we observe positive group delay; conversely, dominance of the nonradiative decoherence results in negative group delay.

  @article{ , abstract = {We experimentally and numerically study the collapse dynamics of a quantum vortex in a two-dimensional atomic superfluid following a fast interaction ramp from repulsion to attraction. We find the conditions and timescales for a superfluid vortex to radially converge into a quasistationary density profile, demonstrating the spontaneous formation of a vortex solitonlike structure in an atomic Bose gas. We record an emergent self-similar dynamics caused by an azimuthal modulational instability, which amplifies initial density perturbations and leads to the eventual splitting of a solitonic ring profile or direct fragmentation of a superfluid into disordered, but roughly circular arrays of Townes solitonlike wave packets. These dynamics are qualitatively reproduced by simulations based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. However, a discrepancy in the magnitude of amplified density fluctuations predicted by our mean-field analysis suggests the presence of effects beyond the mean-field approximation. Our study sets the stage for exploring out-of-equilibrium dynamics of vortex quantum matter quenched to attractive interactions and their universal characteristics.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Sambit Banerjee and Kai Zhou and Shiva Kant Tiwari and Hikaru Tamura and Rongjie Li and Panayotis Kevrekidis and Simeon I.

The method was designed for precise prediction of atomic properties, especially for heavy elements, where relativistic and correlation corrections become large, making their treatment more challenging. This Letter presents the first tests of the method for transition properties. Our prediction agrees with experimental values within the uncertainties.

• (2025). Rapidity asymmetry of jet-hadron correlation as a robust signal of diffusion wake induced by dijets in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. PRL, 135(7), 072302. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {Diffusion wake accompanying a Mach cone is a unique feature of the medium response to projectiles traveling at a speed faster than the velocity of sound. This is also the case for jet-medium interaction inside the quark-gluon plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. It leads to a depletion of soft hadrons in the opposite direction of the propagating jet and, recently, has been observed in -jet events of collisions at LHC. In dijet events, however, the diffusion wake of one jet usually overlaps with the medium-induced hadron enhancement of the other jet without a clear signal except a reduction of the hadron enhancement, unless there is a large rapidity gap between the two jets. We propose to use the rapidity asymmetry of jet-hadron correlations in dijets with a finite rapidity gap relative to that without, as a robust and background-free signal of the diffusion wake. The asymmetry emerges because the diffusion wake of one jet is shifted to a finite rapidity relative to the other jet. Consequently, a depletion of soft hadrons appears in the shifted rapidity region of the diffusion wake and an enhancement in the rapidity region of the other jet whose soft hadron enhancement is no longer or less reduced by the diffusion wake as in dijets without a rapidity gap. We predict the rapidity asymmetry using both theoretical and mixed-event background subtraction for different values of the rapidity gap within the CoLBT-hydro model. Future measurements of this rapidity asymmetry with high statistics data on dijets should provide more precise insights into the jet-induced diffusion wake and properties of the quark-gluon plasma.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Zhong Yang and Xin-Nian Wang}, doi = {10.1103/vv7y-xbrc}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {8}, number = {7}, pages = {072302}, shortjournal = {Phys.

The analytic forms of these functions are presented in both Mellin N space and momentum-fraction x space for a general gauge group. In the small- x limit double logarithms occur, but the small- x rise of both splitting functions is confined to extremely small- x values, x ≲ 10 − 6 . The large- x limit includes the n f -part of the four-loop quark virtual anomalous dimension. Using this result we obtain also the n f contributions to the corresponding gluonic quantity and the complete threshold-enhanced logarithms from soft-gluon emission for a large class of inclusive observables, including Higgs boson production in gluon-gluon fusion.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {B. A.

  @article{ , abstract = {In the gravitational-wave analysis of pulsar-timing-array datasets, parameter estimation is usually performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to explore posterior probability densities. We introduce an alternative procedure that instead relies on stochastic gradient-descent Bayesian variational inference, whereby we obtain the weights of a neural-network-based approximation of the posterior by minimizing the Kullback–Leibler divergence of the approximation from the exact posterior. This technique is distinct from simulation-based inference with normalizing flows since we train the network for a single dataset, rather than the population of all possible datasets, and we require the computation of the data likelihood and its gradient. Unlike Markov chain methods, our technique can trivially exploit highly parallel computing platforms. This makes it extremely fast on modern graphical processing units, on which it can analyze the NANOGrav 15-yr dataset in a few tens of minutes, depending on the probabilistic model, compared to hours or days with the analysis codes used so far.

  @article{ , abstract = {Feebly interacting particles, such as sterile neutrinos, dark photons, and axions, can be abundantly produced in the proto-neutron star (PNS) formed in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). These particles can decay into photons or charged leptons, depositing energy outside the PNS. Strong bounds on new particles can thus be derived from the observed luminosity of CCSNe, with even tighter bounds obtained from low-energy SNe observations. For the first time we highlight that, at sufficiently large couplings, particle production outside the PNS must also be considered. Using the prototypical case of axions coupling to two photons, we show that at large couplings the energy transfer from PNS to its surroundings is diffusive rather than ballistic, substantially reducing the deposited energy.

  @article{ , abstract = {The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of certain interacting quantum systems still defy precise understanding. One example is the so-called quantum many-body scars (QMBSs), where a set of energy eigenstates evade thermalization to give rise to long-lived oscillations. Despite the success of viewing scars from the perspectives of symmetry, commutant algebra, and quasiparticles, it remains a challenge to elucidate the mechanism underlying all QMBS and to distinguish them from other forms of ergodicity breaking. In this work, we introduce an alternative route to detect and diagnose QMBS based on Fisher zeros, i.e., the patterns of zeros of the analytically continued partition function on the complex (inverse temperature) plane. For systems with scars, a continuous line of Fisher zeros will appear off the imaginary axis and extend upward, separating the plane into regions with distinctive thermalization behaviors. This conjecture is motivated from interpreting the complex as the return amplitude of the thermofield double state, and it is validated by analyzing two models with QMBS, the model and the Ising chain in external fields. These models also illustrate the key difference between QMBS and strong ergodicity breaking including their distinctive renormalization group flows on the complex plane. This “statistical mechanics” approach places QMBS within the same framework of thermal and dynamical phase transitions.

The interactions between excitons result in intra- and intervalley biexcitonic multiparticle states, whose contributions to the nonlinear optical response have remained elusive so far. Here, by using helicity-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy with sub-10 fs temporal resolution combined with a microscopic theory based on the excitonic Bloch equations we are able to unambiguously disentangle the contribution of two particle exciton and four particle biexciton correlations to the coherent optical response of semiconductor. Upon resonant excitation of valley-polarized A exciton population we observe competing excitation-induced energy shift of the A exciton transition along with a coherent gain in the pumped valley and an instantaneous formation of an additional absorption peak in the unpumped valley, which we attribute to the effect of bound intervalley biexcitons. An excellent agreement between experimental results and calculations allows us to deepen understanding of many-body effects in 1L-TMDs, which is crucial for the development of excitonic and valleytronics devices.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Thomas Deckert and Henry Mittenzwey and Oleg Dogadov and Micol Bertolotti and Giulio Cerullo and Daniele Brida and Andreas Knorr and Stefano Dal Conte}, doi = {10.1103/j5cv-rffq}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {8}, number = {6}, pages = {066902}, shortjournal = {Phys.

However, it becomes increasingly evident that a more comprehensive understanding of quantum state geometry is necessary to explain properties involving Bloch states of multiple bands, such as optical transitions. To this end, we employ quantum state projectors to develop an explicitly gauge-invariant formalism and demonstrate its power with applications to nonlinear optics and the theory of electronic polarization. We provide a simple expression for the shift current that resolves its precise relation to the moments of electronic polarization, clarifies the treatment of band degeneracies, and reveals its decomposition into the sum of the skewness of the occupied states and intrinsically multistate geometry. The projector approach is applied to calculate nonlinear optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) layers, using previously calculated minimal tight-binding models, and demonstrated analytically on a three-band generalization of the Rice-Mele chain to elucidate the different contributions.

Using scanning nitrogen-vacancy magnetometry and spin pumping, we identified four degenerate frustrated states and achieved their controllable switching via magnon spin torque. Crucially, the switching is unidirectional, with selectivity determined by the incoming magnon direction.

Torons are a class of three-dimensional (3D) chiral topological structures with both skyrmionic quasiparticle textures and monopole point defects, so far only observed in liquid crystals with both polar and nonpolar symmetry. Here, we construct torons with the photonic spin of vector structured light and demonstrate the topological phase transitions among diverse 3D topological states: torons, hopfions, skyrmioniums and monopole pairs.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ising machines show promise as ultrafast hardware for optimizations encoded in Ising Hamiltonians but fall short in terms of success rate and performance scaling. Here, we propose a novel Ising machine that exploits the three-dimensional nature of nonlinear polarization oscillators to counteract these limitations. Based on the evolution of the optical polarization in third-order nonlinear media, the high-dimensional machine reaches the Ising ground state by the mechanism of “dimensional collapse”: the dynamics on the Poincaré sphere undergoes a self-induced collapse into polarization fixed points mapping an Ising spin. Collapse from a spherical to a binary spin occurs when the polarization oscillator experiences iterative loss and anisotropic feedback. The photonic setup consists of polarization modulated pulses in a crystal subject to measurement and feedback. We numerically demonstrate the polarization machine achieves enhanced success probability on benchmark graphs and an exponential improvement in performance scaling with respect to coherent Ising machines due to its high-dimensional operation. The proposed Ising machine paves the way for a new class of Ising solvers with enhanced computing capabilities.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Salvatore Chiavazzo and Marcello Calvanese Strinati and Claudio Conti and Davide Pierangeli}, doi = {10.1103/qs29-2xqc}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {8}, number = {6}, pages = {063801}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In the quantum case, both limit cycles coexist in a single steady state. Each of these limit cycles localizes to a distinct phase if coupled to an external drive: one quantum state can thus be assigned two phases. Furthermore, coupling two such oscillators leads to the simultaneous appearance of synchronization and a synchronization blockade.

Instead, we investigate the KZ behavior across topological transitions of a Chern band in two-dimensional (2D) optical Raman lattices with quantum gases.

Our shield furnishes the atoms with a near-ideal cryogenic blackbody radiation (BBR) environment by rejecting external thermal radiation at the part-per-million level during clock spectroscopy, overcoming a key limitation with previous cryogenic BBR control solutions in OLCs. While the lowest BBR shift uncertainty is realized with cryogenic operation, we further exploit the radiation control that the shield offers over a wide range of temperatures to directly measure and verify the leading BBR Stark dynamic correction coefficient for ytterbium. This independent measurement reduces the literature-combined uncertainty of this coefficient by 30%, thus benefiting state-of-the-art Yb OLCs operated at room temperature.

  @article{ , abstract = {In nuclei with an odd nucleon number the nonvanishing spin number density is the source of a pseudomagnetic field, which favors the splitting of the nucleon Cooper pairs. Such a pseudomagnetic field is generated always in the dynamics of any nucleus, but its effects on Cooper pairs are significantly enhanced in the dynamic evolution of nuclei with an odd number of nucleons. We present for the first time a microscopic study of the induced fission of the odd neutron compound nuclei U 239 , Pu 241 , 243 , and the odd proton, odd neutron compound nucleus Np 238 , performed within the time-dependent density functional theory extended to superfluid fermion systems, without any simplifying assumptions, with controlled numerical approximations, and for a very large number of initial conditions. Because of the presence of the unpaired odd nucleon(s), the time-reversal symmetry of the fission compound nucleus is spontaneously broken, an aspect routinely neglected in the most advanced microscopic approaches of the past. The emerging fission fragment properties are quite similar to the properties of fission fragments of neighboring even-even nuclei. The time from saddle-to-scission is often significantly longer in odd-odd or odd-mass nuclei than for even-even nuclei, since systems with unpaired nucleons are easier to excite and the potential energy surfaces of these nuclei have more structure, often resembling a very complicated obstacle course, rather than a more direct evolution of the nuclear shape from the top of the outer fission barrier to the scission configuration. The Pauli blocking approximation, often invoked in the literature, expected to inhibit the fission of nuclei with unpaired nucleons, is surprisingly strongly violated during the fission dynamics.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Aurel Bulgac and Ibrahim Abdurrahman and Matthew Kafker and Ionel Stetcu}, doi = {10.1103/2k8k-vpng}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {8}, number = {6}, pages = {062501}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In this Letter, we consider the lowest supermultiplet of gauge invariant operators of the model and identify its states with the lowest Kaluza-Klein fluctuations of (Euclidean) IIB supergravity on the instanton background. We construct its holographic bulk realization as a one-dimensional maximal supergravity with 32 supercharges and local SO(10) invariance, capturing the full nonlinear dynamics. Analyzing the bulk Killing spinor equations, we construct the most general half-supersymmetric solutions, which typically break SO(10). We present their uplifts to IIB supergravity, and furthermore to waves in twelve dimensions.

Overlapping tomography is such a scheme, allowing one to obtain all the information contained in specific subsystems of multiparticle quantum systems in an efficient manner, but the ultimate limits of this approach remain elusive. We present protocols for overlapping tomography that are optimal with respect to the number of measurement settings. First, by providing algorithmic approaches based on graph theory we find the minimal number of Pauli settings, relating overlapping tomography to the problem of covering arrays in combinatorics. This significantly reduces the number of measurement settings, showing for instance that two-body overlapping tomography of nearest neighbors in qubit systems with planar topologies can always be performed with nine Pauli settings. Second, we prove that using general projective measurements, all -body marginals can be reconstructed with only settings, independently of the system size.

By studying the dynamics of individual lattice site populations in ultracold bosonic gases, we show that the process of relaxation toward equilibrium in a quantum system can be orders of magnitude faster than in its classical counterpart. Classical chaos quantifiers reveal that this is due to a wave packet in a quantum system being able to escape regions of inefficient classical transport by a mechanism akin to tunneling.

In this Letter, we focus on the bipartite scenario and provide the necessary and sufficient condition for nonzero certified randomness under any arbitrary but fixed input, formulated in terms of measurement incompatibility. Further, we develop practical approaches to detect it. Firstly, we show that the steering-based randomness can be certified if and only if the correlations arise from a measurement compatibility structure that is not isomorphic to a hypergraph containing a star subgraph. In such a structure, the central measurement is individually compatible with the measurements at branch sites, ruling out the possibility of certified randomness in the central measurement outcomes. Subsequently, we generalize this result to the Bell scenario, proving that the violation of any chained Bell inequality involving a finite number of inputs and outputs excludes such a compatibility structure, thereby validating all chained inequalities as credible witnesses for randomness certification.

  @article{ , abstract = {Biological transport networks are highly optimized structures that ensure power-efficient distribution of fluids across various domains, including animal vasculature and plant venation. Theoretically, these networks can be described as space-embedded graphs, and rich structures that align well with observations emerge from optimizing their hydrodynamic energy dissipation. Studies on these models typically use regular grids and focus solely on edge width optimization. Here, we present a generalization of the hydrodynamic graph model that permits additional optimization of node positioning. We achieve this by defining sink regions, accounting for the energy dissipation of delivery within these areas, and optimizing by means of differentiable physics. In the context of leaf venation patterns, our method results in organic networks that adapt to irregularities of boundaries and node misalignment, as well as overall improved efficiency. We study the dependency of the emergent network structures on the capillary delivery conductivity and identify a transition in which the network collapses above a critical threshold.

Here, we demonstrate that the coupling of breathing modes with ferroelectricity, magnetism, and band topology in the monolayer system enables electric field manipulation of topological spin structure and electronic states. The breathing mode mainly occurs in materials containing early transition metal elements and can be reversed or even suppressed via ferroelectric switching in low-barrier materials. Importantly, electric field-induced switching of the breathing mode can alter the chirality of the topological spin structure, or trigger a transition from a topological trivial insulator to a Chern insulator.

Specifically, we consider up to three bosonic atoms, such as , interacting with a light atom, such as , where the latter has two internal spin states that are Rabi coupled. Assuming that only the spin- light atom interacts with the bosons, we find that the Rabi drive transposes the entire Efimov spectrum such that the Efimov trimers and tetramers are centered around the Rabi-shifted two-body scattering resonance. Crucially, we show that the Rabi drive preserves the trimers’ discrete scaling symmetry, while universally shifting the Efimov three-body parameter, leading to a log-periodic modulation in the spectrum as the Rabi drive is varied. Our results suggest that Efimov physics can be conveniently explored using an applied driving field, opening up the prospect of an externally tunable three-body parameter.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Anthony N.

  @article{ , abstract = {Highly charged cations are omnipresent species after the interaction of high-energy or high-intensity light with matter. When embedded in environments, the mechanism and outcome of the redistribution of the cation’s charge are crucial for the further fate of the whole system. Generally, ground-state cations can decay by charge transfer, proceeding radiatively, through nuclear dynamics, or by electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD). ETMD causes electron emission from a remote neighbor and appears ubiquitous in loosely bound systems. It remained unclear how multiply charged ions decay if conventional ETMD channels are closed. Here, we show that a yet undiscovered variant of ETMD is possible, where multiple electrons are collectively transferred. Explicitly, we observe ETMD in which two electrons from two distinct neighbors (partially) neutralize a multiply charged ion, and an electron from a fourth site is emitted. According to the established nomenclature, we suggest naming the process ETMD(4).}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Lutz Marder and Catmarna Küstner-Wetekam and Nils Kiefer and Johannes Viehmann and Niklas Golchert and Emilia Heikura and Florian Trinter and Denis Cubaynes and Jérôme Palaudoux and Francis Penent and Arno Ehresmann and Lorenz S.

Between 5 and 7 MeV, a constant average branching ratio for decays from states of 0.490(16) is observed for the nuclide . Assuming -distributed partial transition widths, this average branching ratio is related to a degree of freedom of , rejecting the validity of the Porter-Thomas distribution, requiring .

  @article{ , abstract = {Astrophysical black holes are open systems which, when perturbed, radiate quasinormal modes (QNMs) to infinity. By contrast, laboratory analogs are necessarily finite sized, presenting a potential obstacle to exciting QNMs in experiments. We explore how the QNM spectrum of a toy-model black hole changes when enclosed by a partially reflecting wall with adjustable reflectivity.

However, this claim has not been independently confirmed and is refuted under certain dark matter particle and halo model scenarios. Therefore, it is crucial to perform an experiment with the same target material.

Operationally, this measure quantifies how well an operator can be approximated by one with only a few Pauli strings—analogous to how entanglement entropy relates to tensor-network truncation. A notable advantage of operator stabilizer entropies is their inherent locality, as captured by a Lieb-Robinson bound. This feature makes them particularly suited for studying local dynamical magic resource generation in many-body systems. We compute this quantity analytically in two distinct regimes. First, we show that under random evolution, operator magic typically reaches near-maximal value for all Rényi indices, and we evaluate the Page correction. Second, harnessing both dual unitarity and ZX graphical calculus, we solve the operator stabilizer entropy for interacting integrable XXZ circuit, finding that it quickly saturates to a constant value.

Here, a multispectroscopic approach—combining near-resonance deep-UV photoluminescence, Raman spectroscopy, and reflectance contrast measurements—is employed to systematically resolve the layer-dependent optoelectronic evolution of h-BN. It is revealed that the absence of band-edge luminescence in 1–3 layers h-BN is indicative of their indirect band gap nature, thereby rectifying longstanding misinterpretations of monolayer BN as a direct band gap semiconductor. Strikingly, band-edge luminescence signals and indirect band gap absorption start to appear in 4-layer, and the luminescence intensity increases with the number of layers, suggesting that interlayer interactions and periodicity along the z axis enhance phonon-assisted indirect band gap transition, even in the 4-layer case, and furthermore indicating the formation process of flat bands at K / M valleys as the periodicity along z direction increases.

  @article{ , abstract = {Achieving effective manipulation of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy within the coupling of ferroelectricity remains an intricate challenge, yet it is crucial in the electric-field control of the excitation and propagation of magnonic spin-polarization currents. Perpendicularly magnetized structures are normally inhibited to varying degrees in a polarization switching path due to the intrinsic chemical incompatibility of electronic mechanisms for single-phase multiferroics. Here, we demonstrate a geometrically coupling strategy of oxygen octahedral distortions to regulate hybrid improper ferroelectricity and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy coupled in double-perovskite superlattice films.

However, stochastic quantum Monte Carlo sampling suffers from the sign problem, particularly when solving a multiorbital quantum impurity model. Recently, two approaches have been proposed for efficient numerical treatment of Feynman diagrams: tensor cross interpolation (TCI) to replace stochastic sampling and the quantics tensor train (QTT) representation for compressing space-time dependence. One of the remaining challenges is the nontrivial task of identifying low-rank structures in weak-coupling Feynman diagrams for multiorbital electron-phonon systems. In particular, the traditional TCI algorithm faces an ergodicity problem, which prevents it from fully exploring the multiorbital space. To address this, we incorporate a new algorithm called global search, which resolves this issue. By combining this approach with QTT, we uncover low-rank structures and achieve efficient numerical integration with exponential resolution in time and faster-than-power-law convergence of error relative to computational cost.

  @article{ , abstract = {We carry out first-principles calculations to demonstrate that the complex energy landscape and competing phases of HfO 2 can be understood from the four unstable flat phonon bands of an unconventional high-symmetry structure of HfO 2 with the space group C m m a . We consider structures generated from the C m m a reference structure by all possible combinations of the zone center and zone boundary modes belonging to the unstable flat phonon branches. We find 12 distinct locally stable structures, of which 5 correspond to well-known phases. We also show that 8 of these 12 structures can be described as period-2 superlattices of the ferroelectric P c a 2 1 ( oIII ) , ferroelectric P m n 2 1 ( oIV ) , monoclinic P 2 1 / c ( m ) , and distorted monoclinic P 2 1 / c ( dm ) structures. We demonstrate how the unstable flat phonon bands can explain the atomically thin grain boundaries in the various types of superlattices. Finally, we point out that arbitrary-period HfO 2 superlattices derived from the 6 different types of period-2 superlattices are expected to form based on the flatness of the unstable phonon branches. The organizing principle provided by this work deepens our understanding of the underlying physics in the phase stability of HfO 2 and provides guidance for functional phase stabilization.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Yubo Qi and Karin M.

Nonlinear analyses elucidate that the condensation is caused by a spiral attractor appearing in the electron’s phase space due to radiation reaction. The spiral rotation and contraction of the attractor leads to the electrons’ polarization being almost instantaneously parallel with respect to the magnetic field, which results in a -ray emission with an anomalous linear polarization perpendicular to the electron’s moving plane.

  @article{ , abstract = {We report on a precision measurement of the differential static scalar polarizability Δ α 0 of the S 2 1 / 2 → D 2 5 / 2 optical clock transition in the Sr + 88 ion. The polarizability was determined from the “magic” ion-trap drive frequency where the micromotion-induced second-order Doppler and quadratic Stark shifts cancel, using a single clock in an interleaved scheme by switching between minimized and large micromotion. By measuring at different Mathieu q z parameters, Δ α 0 can be obtained without prior knowledge of the angle between the rf electric field and the trap axis, which would otherwise dominate the systematic uncertainty. For validation, measurements were carried out at different micromotion levels and by displacing the ion in opposite directions.

  @article{ , abstract = {We compute the conservative and radiation-reaction contributions to classical observables in the gravitational scattering between a spinning and a spinless black hole to the fourth order in spin and third order in the gravitational constant. The conservative results are obtained from two-loop amplitudes for the scattering process of a massive scalar with a massive spin- field ( , 1, 2) minimally coupled to gravity, employing the recently introduced spin interpolation method to resolve all spin-Casimir terms. The two-loop amplitude exhibits a spin-shift symmetry in both probe limits, which we conjecture to be a sign of yet unknown integrability of Kerr orbits through the quartic order in spin and to all orders in the gravitational constant. We obtain the radial action from the finite part of the amplitude and use it to compute classical observables, including the impulse and spin kick. This is done using the recently introduced covariant Dirac brackets, which allow for the computation of classical scattering observables for general (nonaligned) spin configurations. Finally, employing the radiation-reaction amplitude proposed by Alessio and Di Vecchia, together with the Dirac brackets, we obtain radiation-reaction contributions to observables at all orders in spin and beyond the aligned-spin limit. We find agreement with known results up to the quadratic order in spin for both conservative and radiation-reaction contributions. Our results advance the state of the art in the understanding of spinning binary dynamics in general relativity and demonstrate the power and simplicity of the Dirac bracket formalism for relating scattering amplitudes to classical observables.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Dogan Akpinar and Fernando Febres Cordero and Manfred Kraus and Alexander Smirnov and Mao Zeng}, doi = {10.1103/c2dh-tj4v}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {4}, pages = {041602}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Balancing high sensitivity with a broad dynamic range is a fundamental challenge in measurement science, as improving one often compromises the other. While traditional quantum metrology has prioritized enhancing local sensitivity, a large dynamic range is crucial for applications such as atomic clocks, where extended phase interrogation times contribute to wider phase range. In this Letter, we introduce a novel quantum deamplification mechanism that extends dynamic range at a minimal cost of sensitivity. Our approach uses two sequential spin-squeezing operations to generate and detect an entangled probe state, respectively. We demonstrate that the optimal quantum interferometer limit can be approached through two-axis countertwisting dynamics. Further expansion of dynamic range is possible by using sequential quantum deamplification interspersed with phase encoding processes. Additionally, we show that robustness against detection noise can be enhanced by a hybrid sensing scheme that combines quantum deamplification with quantum amplification.

  @article{ , abstract = {To demonstrate supremacy of quantum computing, increasingly large-scale superconducting quantum computing chips are being designed and fabricated. However, the complexity of simulating quantum systems poses a significant challenge to computer-aided design of quantum chips, especially for large-scale chips. Harnessing the scalability of graph neural networks (GNNs), we here propose a parameter designing algorithm for large-scale superconducting quantum circuits. The algorithm depends on the so-called “three-stair scaling” mechanism, which comprises two neural-network models: an evaluator supervisedly trained on small-scale circuits for applying to medium-scale circuits, and a designer unsupervisedly trained on medium-scale circuits for applying to large-scale ones. We demonstrate our algorithm in mitigating quantum crosstalk errors. Frequencies for both single- and two-qubit gates (corresponding to the parameters of nodes and edges) are considered simultaneously. Numerical results indicate that the well-trained designer achieves notable advantages in efficiency, effectiveness, and scalability. For example, for large-scale superconducting quantum circuits consisting of around 870 qubits, our GNNs-based algorithm achieves 51% of the errors produced by the state-of-the-art algorithm, with a time reduction from 90 min to 27 s. Overall, a better-performing and more scalable algorithm for designing parameters of superconducting quantum chips is proposed, which demonstrates the advantages of applying GNNs in superconducting quantum chips.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Hao Ai and Yu-xi Liu}, doi = {10.1103/yr9d-7z8k}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {4}, pages = {040601}, shortjournal = {Phys.

The model of interest is known as the fermionic toric code, a variant of the usual 3D toric code, which admits emergent fermionic pointlike excitations. The fermionic toric code, importantly, possesses an anomalous two-form symmetry, associated with the spacelike Wilson loops of the fermionic excitations. We argue that it is this symmetry that imbues low-temperature thermal states with a novel topological order and long-range entanglement. Based on the current classification of three-dimensional topological orders, we expect that the low-temperature thermal states of the fermionic toric code belong to a phase of matter that, in the context of equilibrium phases of matter, only exists at nonzero temperatures. We conjecture that further examples of topological orders at nonzero temperatures are given by discrete gauge theories with anomalous two-form symmetries.

This model has been of recent interest, since it exhibits the “overlap gap condition,” which should make it prohibitive to find ground states asymptotically with local search methods when compared, for instance, with the case better known as the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model (SKM). Indeed, it proves more costly to find good approximations for than for the SKM, even for our heuristic. Compared to the SKM, the ground-state behavior for is quite distinct also in other ways. For the SKM, finite-size corrections for large system sizes , of both the ensemble average over ground-state energy densities and the width of their distribution, vary anomalously with noninteger exponents. In the case here, the energy density and its distribution appear to scale with and corrections, respectively. The distribution itself is consistent with a Gumbel form. Even more stark is the contrast for the bond-diluted case, where the SKM has shown previously a notable variation of the anomalous corrections exponent with the bond density, while for no such variation is found here.

  @article{ , abstract = {Synchronization among a group of active agents is ubiquitous in nature. Although synchronization based on direct interactions between agents described by the Kuramoto model is well understood, the other general mechanism based on indirect interactions among agents sharing limited resources are less known. Here, we propose a minimal thermodynamically consistent model for the altruistic resource-sharing (ARS) mechanism wherein resources are needed for an individual agent to advance but a more advanced agent has a lower competence to obtain resources. We show that while differential competence in ARS mechanism provides a negative feedback leading to synchronization it also breaks detailed balance and thus requires additional energy dissipation besides the cost of driving individual agents. By solving the model analytically, our study reveals a general trade-off relation between the total energy dissipation rate and the two key performance measures of the system: average speed and synchronization accuracy. For a fixed dissipation rate, there is a distinct speed-accuracy Pareto front traversed by the scarcity of resources: scarcer resources lead to slower speed but more accurate synchronization. Increasing energy dissipation eases this trade-off by pushing the speed-accuracy Pareto front outward. The connections of our work to realistic biological systems such as the KaiABC system in cyanobacterial circadian clock and other theoretical results based on thermodynamic uncertainty relation are also discussed.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Dongliang Zhang (张东良 and Yuansheng Cao and Qi Ouyang and Yuhai Tu}, doi = {10.1103/snks-5fff}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {3}, pages = {037401}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Observations from the Juno satellite have indicated very low electron densities, as low as , at high-latitudes in Jupiter’s magnetosphere. This region is strongly magnetized, with surface magnetic fields at the one-bar level up to 20 G, or 2 mT, leading to the unusual situation that the electron plasma frequency is less than the ion gyrofrequency. In this extremely low-density plasma, the Alfven wave becomes a plasma oscillation at the electron plasma frequency at shorter perpendicular wavelengths. Analysis of this mode with a kinetic low-frequency dispersion solver indicates that at large wave number, this mode has the characteristics of the Langmuir wave. Thus, this mode can be called an Alfvén-Langmuir mode. Below the plasma frequency, the high-wave number behavior of this mode exhibits a resonance cone, with frequency determined by the angle of the wave vector with the background magnetic field. These waves can be excited by the upward electron beams observed by Juno.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {R. L. Lysak and A. H. Sulaiman and S. S. Elliott and W. S. Kurth and S. J.

  @article{ , abstract = {Recent advancements in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) have achieved a significant milestone by demonstrating target gains greater than one, yet future applications necessitate much higher target gains. One approach to achieving improved implosion performance is to pursue increased fuel compression via a lowered implosion adiabat. Experiments have been performed testing a reduced adiabat by introducing small changes to the drive laser pulse shape and the resulting shock timing for an existing implosion design at 1.9 MJ laser drive with near-ignition performance (experiment N210808). Experiments using the updated design demonstrate, for the very first time, increased compression and fusion yield in ICF implosions on the NIF by using a lower fuel adiabat, and increased compression with a reduced adiabat in high-density carbon ablators. Compared to the previously best-performing experiment with a laser energy of 1.9 MJ, these experiments exhibit increases of up to 80% and 14% in nuclear fusion yield and fuel compression, respectively, and with repeatable performance. Further, it is the only implosion design to have achieved a target gain exceeding one with a laser energy of less than 2 MJ. These findings highlight the efficacy of reduced adiabat designs in achieving higher compression and fusion yields, offering a promising pathway for future ICF applications.

This numerical analysis shows that despite an initial buildup of entanglement and a significant amount of entanglement due to either spin squeezing or dark states at late times, the essential features of the superradiant burst are well described by averages over fully factorizable states. We explain this observation in terms of an almost complete factorization of all 2-local observables, which we identify as a generic property of superradiant decay. Based on this insight, we provide a purely classical theory for the burst in squeezed superradiance, which is both intuitive and exact for a large number of emitters.

Mapping the problem to a 1D model of a quantum interface wherein the coupling efficiency is characterized by a reflectivity, we analyze the latter by developing a geometrical optics formulation, accounting for realistic finite-size arrays. We find that optimized efficiency favors small diffraction-order angles and small interlayer separations, and that the coupling inefficiency for two layers universally scales as with the atom number per layer .

  @article{ , abstract = {The ALICE Collaboration reports measurements of the large relative transverse momentum ( ) component of jet substructure in and Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair . Enhancement in the yield of such large- emissions in head-on Pb-Pb collisions is predicted to arise from partonic scattering with quasiparticles of the quark-gluon plasma. The analysis utilizes charged-particle jets reconstructed by the anti- algorithm with resolution parameter in the transverse-momentum interval . The soft drop and dynamical grooming algorithms are used to identify high transverse momentum splittings in the jet shower. Comparison of measurements in Pb-Pb and collisions shows medium-induced narrowing, corresponding to yield suppression of high- splittings, in contrast to the expectation of yield enhancement due to quasiparticle scattering. The measurements are compared to theoretical model calculations incorporating jet modification due to jet-medium interactions (“jet quenching”), both with and without quasiparticle scattering effects. These measurements provide new insight into the underlying mechanisms and theoretical modeling of jet quenching.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {ALICE Collaboration and S. Acharya and A.

  @article{ , abstract = {The origin of neutrino masses remains unknown to date. One popular idea involves interactions between neutrinos and ultralight dark matter, described as fields or particles with masses . Due to the large phase-space number density, this type of dark matter exists in coherent states and can be effectively described by an oscillating classical field. As a result, neutrino mass-squared differences undergo field-induced interference in spacetime, potentially generating detectable effects in oscillation experiments. We demonstrate that if , the mechanism becomes sensitive to dark matter density fluctuations, which suppresses the oscillatory behavior of flavor-changing probabilities as a function of neutrino propagation distance in a model-independent way, thereby ruling out this regime. Furthermore, by analyzing data from the Kamioka Liquid Scintillator Antineutrino Detector (KamLAND), a benchmark long-baseline reactor experiment, we show that the hypothesis of a dark origin for the neutrino masses is disfavored for , compared to the case of constant mass values in vacuum. This result holds at more than the level across different datasets and parameter choices. The mass range can be further tested in current and future oscillation experiments by searching for time variations (rather than periodicity) in oscillation parameters.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Andrew Cheek and Luca Visinelli and Hong-Yi Zhang}, doi = {10.1103/wyns-m4y5}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {3}, pages = {031801}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Perhaps the most basic question we can ask about cosmological correlations is how their strength changes as we smoothly vary kinematic parameters. The answer is encoded in differential equations that govern this evolution in kinematic space. In this Letter, we introduce a new perspective on these differential equations. We show that, in the simplified setting of conformally coupled scalars in power-law Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes, the equations for arbitrary tree-level processes can be obtained from a small number of simple combinatorial rules. While this “kinematic flow” is defined purely in terms of boundary data, it reflects the physics of bulk time evolution. The unexpected regularity of the equations suggests the existence of an autonomously defined mathematical structure from which cosmological correlations and the time evolution of the associated spacetime emerge.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Nima Arkani-Hamed and Daniel Baumann and Aaron Hillman and Austin Joyce and Hayden Lee and Guilherme L.

  @article{ , abstract = {We derive the full system of canonical differential equations for all planar two-loop massless six-particle master integrals and determine analytically the boundary conditions. This fully specifies the solutions, which may be written as Chen iterated integrals. We argue that this is sufficient information for evaluating any scattering amplitude in four dimensions up to the finite part. We support this claim by reducing, for the most complicated integral topologies, integrals with typical Yang-Mills numerators. We use the analytic solutions to the differential equations, together with dihedral symmetry, to provide the full solution space relevant for two-loop six-particle computations. This includes the relevant function alphabet, as well as the independent set of iterated integrals up to weight four. We also provide the answer for all master integrals in terms of iterated integrals that can be readily evaluated numerically. As a proof of concept, we provide a numerical implementation that evaluates the integrals in part of the Euclidean region and validate this against numerical evaluation of the Feynman integrals. Our result removes the bottleneck of the Feynman integral evaluation, paving the way for future analytic evaluations of six-particle scattering amplitudes.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Johannes Henn and Antonela Matijašić and Julian Miczajka and Tiziano Peraro and Yingxuan Xu and Yang Zhang}, doi = {10.1103/zhzd-tj9p}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {3}, pages = {031601}, shortjournal = {Phys.

These include supersymmetric truncations of string/M theory, for which a positive-energy theorem holds. At the boundary, our solutions describe a boost-invariant fluid in which the temperature decreases monotonically with time. On the gravity side, they correspond to black-brane spacetimes with a receding horizon. In classical gravity, curvature invariants at the horizon grow without bound. In the full theory this regime may or may not be reached. In some cases it is avoided by a phase transition to a regular geometry.

We also study avoided crossings and exceptional points of the Kerr and Kerr–de Sitter spectrum.

  @article{ , abstract = {Frequency estimation, a cornerstone of basic and applied sciences, has been significantly enhanced by quantum sensing strategies. Despite breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced frequency estimation, key challenges remain: static probes limit flexibility, and the interplay between resource efficiency, sensing precision, and potential enhancements from nonlinear probes remains not fully understood. In this Letter, we show that dynamically encoding an unknown frequency in a nonlinear quantum electromagnetic field can significantly improve frequency estimation. To provide a fair comparison of resources, we define the energy cost as the figure of merit for our sensing strategy. We further show that specific higher-order nonlinear processes lead to nonlinear-enhanced frequency estimation. This enhancement results from quantum scrambling, where local quantum information spreads across a larger portion of the Hilbert space. We quantify this effect using the Wigner-Yanase skew information, which measures the degree of noncommutativity in the Hamiltonian structure.

The proposed method is a general framework that works with any tractable density generative model. At optimal, the model is theoretically guaranteed to be the unbiased Boltzmann distribution. We validated our method by calculating phase transitions in the Ising and XY models, demonstrating that our direct-sampling simulations are as accurate as Markov chain Monte Carlo methods but more efficient. Moreover, our differentiable free energy aligns closely with the exact one to the second-order derivative, indicating that the variational model captures the subtle thermal transitions at the phase transitions.

Our approach relies on the sequential execution of nonadiabatic holonomic evolutions, which are typically used in constructing quantum-logic gates. The method is swift and purely geometric and can be extended to realize more sophisticated dynamic operations.

Unlike electrons, which can be readily controlled via electric fields, imposing strong nanoscale potentials on excitons to enable quantum confinement has proven challenging. In this Letter, we utilize piezoelectric force microscopy to image the domain structures of twisted hexagonal boron nitride ( ), revealing evidence of strong in-plane electric fields at the domain boundaries. By placing a monolayer only 1 to 2 nm away from the twisted interface, we observe energy splitting of neutral excitons and Fermi polarons by several millielectronvolts at the moiré domain boundaries.

They remain robust against moderate disorder until Anderson localization occurs and destroys the topological phase. Interestingly, disorder can also induce a topological phase—known as a topological Anderson insulator—starting from an otherwise pristine trivial phase. While topological invariants are generally regarded as global quantities, we argue that space-resolved topological markers can act as local order parameters, revealing the role of fluctuations and correlations in the local topology under Anderson disorder and vacancies. With this perspective, we perform numerical simulations of disorder-driven topological phase transitions in the Haldane and Kane-Mele models, using supercells with both open and periodic boundary conditions. We find that short-scale fluctuations of topological markers vanish upon coarse graining, except at the topological phase transition, where their correlation length peaks and large-scale fluctuations remain.

Recent studies show that the quantum metric dipole drives scattering-free nonlinear Hall effect in topological antiferromagnets, prompting the questions of whether this effect can occur in nonmagnetic systems and be externally tuned by a magnetic field. Our work addresses these frontiers by demonstrating that the quantum metric dipole is actively tuned by an external magnetic field to generate a time-reversal-odd nonlinear Hall response in a nonmagnetic topological Dirac semimetal . Alongside the well-known chiral-anomaly-induced negative longitudinal magnetoresistance, an exotic nonlinear planar Hall effect emerges with increasing magnetic field. Careful scaling analysis indicates that this nonlinear planar Hall effect is controlled by the magnetic-field-modulated quantum metric dipole. Constructing a effective model of the Dirac bands under Zeeman and orbital coupling, we derive the evolution of the quantum metric dipole as a function of the magnetic field, providing a comprehensive explanation of the experimental results.

  @article{ , abstract = {In correlated transition-metal oxides, orbital-ordering appears to always precede magnetic ordering ( T N < T OO ). The R VO 3 series is the exception: it exhibits an inversion of T N and T OO with increasing rare-earth radius R I . Why vanadates are different is not understood. Here we show that the reason is fundamental: when lattice effects dominate orbital physics, magnetic order follows orbital order, and thus T N < T OO . This is what happens in most transition-metal oxides, and it is what quenches exotic quantum orbital phases. In the R VO 3 series, however, lattice effects become ineffective with increasing R I , while, at the same time, for antiferromagnetic spin order, the orbital-independent dipolar spin-spin interaction dominates. This has consequences well beyond the R VO 3 series itself. In fact, the subtle balance of interactions leading to the T N − T OO inversion not only explains why it is so rare, but also gives the criteria for finding it in other materials. The mechanism behind transitions inversion makes such systems an ideal playground for studying unconventional orbital phases. The results presented here rely on the decomposition of the order parameter into irreducible tensors, which allows us to identify the mechanism driving the transition.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Xue-Jing Zhang and Erik Koch and Eva Pavarini}, doi = {10.1103/qvp2-jn9p}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {2}, pages = {026508}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Based on symmetry analysis, a spin-dependent electron-phonon coupling model is constructed, and is solved by sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The phase diagram versus phonon frequency ω and coupling constant λ is fully investigated. The spin-orbit coupling emerges as an order in the ground state for any λ in the adiabatic limit, accompanied by a breathing mode of lattice distortion and a staggered loop spin current. This phase dominates in the entire range of ω with λ < λ ∞ , a critical value in the ω → ∞ limit. At λ > λ ∞ , the emergent spin-orbit coupling is suppressed as increasing ω , and a phase transition occurs leading to charge-density-wave ordering degenerate with superconductivity.

  @article{ , abstract = {Cosmic rays are deemed to be generated by a process known as “Fermi acceleration” in which charged particles scatter against magnetic fluctuations in astrophysical plasmas. The process itself is, however, universal, has both classical and quantum formulations, and is at the basis of dynamical systems with interesting mathematical properties, such as the celebrated Fermi-Ulam model. Despite its effectiveness in accelerating particles, Fermi acceleration has so far eluded unambiguous verifications in laboratory settings. Here, we realize a fully controllable Fermi accelerator by colliding ultracold atoms against engineered movable potential barriers. We demonstrate that our Fermi accelerator, which is only 100 μ m in size, can produce ultracold atomic jets with velocities above 0.5 m / s . Adding dissipation, we also experimentally test Bell’s general argument for the ensuing energy spectra, which is at the basis of any model of cosmic ray acceleration. On the one hand, our Letter effectively opens the window to the use of cold atoms to study phenomena relevant for high energy astrophysics. On the other, the performance of our Fermi accelerator is competitive with those of best-in-class accelerating methods used in quantum technology and quantum colliders, but with substantially simpler implementation no fundamental physics limit.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {G.

Recently the quantum limits of active imaging have been explored with levitated nanoparticles, which experience a multimode radiation pressure backaction (the photon recoil force) due to radiative scattering of the probe field. Here we extend the analysis of multimode backaction to compliant surfaces, accessing a broad class of mechanical resonators and fruitful analogies to quantum imaging. As an example, we consider imaging of the flexural modes of a membrane by sorting the spatial modes of a laser reflected from its surface. We show that backaction in this setting can be understood to arise from spatiotemporal photon shot noise, an effect that cannot be observed in single-mode optomechanics. We also derive the imprecision-backaction product in the limit of purely spatial (intermodal) coupling, revealing it to be equivalent to the standard quantum limit for single-mode optomechanical coupling. Finally, we show that optomechanical correlations due to spatiotemporal backaction can give rise to two-mode entangled light, providing a mechanism for entangling desired pairs of spatial modes.

Quantum fluctuations of the acoustic field are predicted to yield entangled emission across the horizon, as in black holes.

  @article{ , abstract = {We propose a new machine-learning-based anomaly detection strategy for comparing data with a background-only reference (a form of weak supervision). The sensitivity of previous strategies degrades significantly when the signal is too rare or there are many unhelpful features. Our prior-assisted weak supervision (PAWS) method incorporates information from a class of signal models to significantly enhance the search sensitivity of weakly supervised approaches. As long as the true signal is in the prespecified class, PAWS matches the sensitivity of a dedicated, fully supervised method without specifying the exact parameters ahead of time. On the benchmark LHC Olympics anomaly detection dataset, our mix of semisupervised and weakly supervised learning is able to extend the sensitivity over previous methods by a factor of 10 in cross section. Furthermore, if we add irrelevant (noise) dimensions to the inputs, classical methods degrade by another factor of 10 in cross section while PAWS remains insensitive to noise. This new approach could be applied in a number of scenarios and pushes the frontier of sensitivity between completely model-agnostic approaches and fully model-specific searches.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Chi Lung Cheng and Gup Singh and Benjamin Nachman}, doi = {10.1103/8259-wt5p}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {2}, pages = {021801}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Our family of NLIEs encompasses and generalizes the integrable flows known in the literature: , and . This work uncovers a new interplay between exact solvability and noninvertible symmetries.

  @article{ , abstract = {We revisit the problem of a charged particle scattering off of an Aharonov-Bohm cosmic string. A classic computation gave an infinite total scattering cross section, leading to a Callan-Rubakov-like enhancement which can have important implications on baryon number asymmetry in the early Universe. However, unlike the Callan-Rubakov effect, the Aharonov-Bohm interaction is topological and thus it is surprising that it leads to such a dramatic dynamical effect for single particle scattering. We reexamine this old problem through the modern lens of generalized global symmetries by embedding Aharanov-Bohm strings in a discrete gauge theory. We show that the scattering cross section is suppressed by the core size and there is thus no Callan-Rubakov-like enhancement.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {T.

  @article{ , abstract = {I define “horizon normalcy” as the approximate validity of semiclassical gravity and effective field theory for the description of observers that approach or cross a black hole horizon. If black holes return information, then horizon normalcy must fail substantially, at least in some global states. It has been proposed that horizon normalcy persists, so long as the Hawking radiation remains in a computationally simple state. Here I argue that state-dependent horizon normalcy—independent of the underlying mechanism and independent of the class of radiation states asserted to guarantee normalcy—requires a breakdown of general covariance far from the black hole, or else horizon normalcy will depend on the infinite future of the exterior. This is because the radiation can be in different states at different events, all spacelike to the horizon crossing event whose normalcy is at stake. I discuss a related effect in AdS/CFT, and I argue that its resolution by timefolds is of no help here.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Raphael Bousso}, doi = {10.1103/xl94-k5rj}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {2}, pages = {021501}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {We consider a minimally coupled, massless quantum scalar field Φ ^ propagating in the background geometry of a four-dimensional black hole formed by the collapse of a spherical thin null shell, with a Minkowski interior and a Schwarzschild exterior. The field is taken in the natural “in” vacuum state, namely, the quantum state in which no excitations arrive from past null infinity. Within the semiclassical framework, we analyze the vacuum polarization ⟨ Φ ^ 2 ⟩ ren and the energy outflux density ⟨ T ^ u u ⟩ ren (where u is the standard null Eddington coordinate) just outside the shell. Using the point-splitting method, we derive closed-form analytical expressions for both of these semiclassical quantities. In particular, our result for ⟨ T ^ u u ⟩ ren reveals that it vanishes like ( 1 − 2 M 0 / r 0 ) 2 as the shell collapses toward the event horizon, where M 0 is the shell’s mass and r 0 is the value of the area coordinate r at the evaluation point. This confirms that, along a late-time outgoing null geodesic (i.e., one that emerges from the shell very close to the event horizon and propagates toward future null infinity), the outflux gradually evolves (from virtually zero) up to its final Hawking-radiation value while the geodesic traverses the strong-field region (rather than the Hawking-radiation outflux being emitted entirely from the collapsing shell, which would lead to significant backreaction effects).}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Amos Ori and Noa Zilberman}, doi = {10.1103/p4bk-qg3n}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {2}, pages = {021401}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {The ∼ 60 000 solar-mass ( M ⊙ ) star cluster R136 (NGC 2070) in the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the host of at least 55 massive stars ( M ≳ 10 M ⊙ ) which move away from the cluster at projected velocities ≥ 27.5 km / s . The origin of the high velocities of such runaway stars have been debated since the 1960s, resulting either from dynamical ejections or from supernova explosions. Because of the Gaia satellite’s outstanding precision, we can now retrace the most recently ejected binary star, Mel 34, back to the center of R136 and reconstruct the events that 52 000 years ago led to its removal from R136; i.e., we establish its dynamical interaction and ejection history. We find that this ejection requires the participation of five stars in a strong interaction between a triple composed of the tight massive binary Mel 39, orbited by the star VFTS 590, and the binary star Mel 34. The participation of five stars is unexpected because runaway stars were not expected to result from triple interactions. The deterministic nature of the Newtonian dynamics in the scattering enables us to reconstruct the encounter that ejected Mel 34. We then predict that Mel 39 is a binary star with an 80 M ⊙ companion star that orbits within ∼ 1 ° in the same plane as Mel 34 and escapes the cluster with a velocity of ∼ 64 km / s . The five stars will undergo supernova explosions in the coming 5 Myr at a distance of ∼ 180 – 332 pc from their birth location (R136).

The key characteristic of our configuration is the coupling of the ground state spin manifold of size F g ≫ 1 to an excited Zeeman spin manifold of size F e = F g − 1 using light. This coupling results in eigenstates of the driven atom that include exactly two dark states in the ground state manifold, which are decoupled from light and immune to spontaneous emission from the excited states. These dark states constitute the spin cat, leading to the designation “dark spin cat.” We demonstrate that under strong Rabi drive and for large F g , the dark spin cat is autonomously stabilized against common noise sources and encodes a qubit with significantly biased noise. Specifically, the bit-flip error rate decreases exponentially with F g relative to the dephasing rate. We provide an analysis of dark spin cats and their robustness to noise, and we discuss bias-preserving single qubit and entangling gates, exemplified on a Rydberg tweezer platform.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Andreas Kruckenhauser and Ming Yuan and Han Zheng and Mikhail Mamaev and Pei Zeng and Xuanhui Mao and Qian Xu and Torsten V.

Inspired by our finding that the coherent ergotropy decays more slowly than the incoherent ergotropy, we reveal a mechanism to enhance the inherent robustness of the QB to the self-discharging by improving the ratio of coherent ergotropy to total ergotropy.

  @article{ , abstract = {Phyllotactic patterns, where elements such as leaves, seeds, or droplets arrange along alternate spirals, are fascinating examples of complex structures encountered in nature. In botany, their symmetries develop when a new primordium periodically grows in the largest gap left between the previous one and the apex. Experiments using ferrofluid droplets have shown that phyllotactic patterns can also spontaneously form when identical elements repulsing each other are periodically released at a given distance from an injection center and are advected radially at a constant speed. Here, we show that phyllotactic structures can also genuinely develop in the large class of spatial symmetry breaking systems with an intrinsic wavelength in the case of radial growth. The constraint of maintaining a fixed wavelength between spots while expanding radially either diffusively or advectively generalizes the concept of temporal release of repulsing agents in botany to new classes of systems. We explore this on three different systems: numerically on two models describing reaction-driven phase transitions and spatial Turing patterns, respectively, and experimentally on chemical precipitation patterns.

  @article{ , abstract = {Photonic Chern insulators can be implemented in gyromagnetic photonic crystals with broken time-reversal (TR) symmetry. They exhibit gapless chiral edge states (CESs), enabling unidirectional propagation and demonstrating exceptional resilience to localization even in the presence of defects or disorders. However, when two Chern insulators with opposite Chern numbers are stacked together, this one-way nature can be nullified, causing the originally gapless CESs to become gapped. Recent theoretical works have proposed achieving such a topological phase transition in condensed matter systems using antiferromagnetic thin films such as MnBi 2 Te 4 or by coupling two quantum spin/anomalous Hall insulators, but these approaches have yet to be realized experimentally. In a bilayer gyromagnetic photonic crystal arranged in an antiferromagnetic layer configuration, our experimental observations reveal that interlayer coupling initiates a transition from a Chern insulating phase to a higher-order topological phase. This transition results in the gapping of CESs and triggers the emergence of corner states within the band gap. The corner mode energy within this gap originates from CES interactions, forming a Jackiw-Rebbi-type topological domain wall mode at the corner, which is expected to remain within the bulk band gap without relying on local symmetries such as chiral or particle-hole symmetry. These states exhibit heightened resilience against defects, distinguishing them from their TR-symmetric counterparts.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Subhaskar Mandal and Ziyao Wang and Rimi Banerjee and Hau Tian Teo and Minggui Wei and Peiheng Zhou and Xiang Xi and Zhen Gao and Gui-Geng Liu and Baile Zhang}, doi = {10.1103/33mm-mx88}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {1}, pages = {016903}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In view of recent results, the dc resistivity in the weak-coupling regime of the Hubbard model is of great interest, yet it is not fully understood. The challenge lies in having to work with large lattices while avoiding analytical continuation. The weak-coupling results were so far computed at the level of the Boltzmann theory and at the level of the Kubo bubble approximation, which neglects vertex corrections. Neither theory was so far rigorously proven to give exact results even at infinitesimal coupling, and the respective dc resistivity results differ greatly. In this Letter we develop, cross-check and apply two state-of-the-art methods for obtaining dynamical response functions. We compute the optical conductivity at weak coupling in the Hubbard model in a fully controlled way, in the thermodynamic limit, and without analytical continuation.

To address this issue, we propose a new parametrization for the low-energy scattering amplitude that accounts for the left-hand cut.

This parametrization is versatile and applicable to a broad range of systems with Yukawa-type interactions, including particle, hadronic, nuclear, cold atom, and quantum gas systems. In particular, it should be invaluable in understanding various near-threshold hadron resonances.

Since the lepton-antilepton pair carries a significant fraction of dark matter energy, it can be clearly distinguished from backgrounds. Utilizing the above features, we show that DIPP is highly effective at probing various dark matter models, particularly at DUNE ND and DarkQuest, by searching for electron-positron and muon-antimuon signatures. At DUNE ND, we find that the sensitivity of DIPP extends over a larger parameter space than the existing limits from electron and nuclear recoil. Additionally, we explore a scenario where dark sector couplings involve quarks and muons only, demonstrating that DIPP can probe a wide variety of dark matter models with different final states.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Bhaskar Dutta and Aparajitha Karthikeyan and Mudit Rai and Hyunyong Kim}, doi = {10.1103/ry3x-dw48}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {7}, number = {1}, pages = {011804}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Our algorithm leverages the Zak-Gross Wigner function introduced by Davis, Fabre, and Chabaud, which represents infinitely squeezed encoded stabilizer states positively. The run-time of the algorithm scales with the negativity of the Wigner function, allowing for efficient simulation of certain large-scale circuits—namely, input stabilizer GKP states undergoing generalized GKP-encoded Clifford operations followed by modular measurement—with a high degree of squeezing. For stabilizer GKP states exhibiting 12 dB of squeezing, our algorithm can simulate circuits with up to 1000 modes with less than double the number of samples required for a single input mode, which is in stark contrast to existing simulators.

In this Letter, we show that arbitrary mixed state entanglement transformations can be made reversible under local operations and classical communication, when assisted by an entanglement battery—an auxiliary quantum system that stores and supplies entanglement in a way that ensures no net entanglement is lost. In particular, the rate of transformation in the asymptotic limit can be quantitatively expressed as a ratio of entanglement present within the quantum states involved. Our setting allows us to consider different entanglement quantifiers which give rise to unique principles governing state transformations, effectively constituting diverse manifestations of a “second law” of entanglement manipulation.

While the polymer can completely dissolve in both solvents, strong polymer-cosolvent affinity induces the occurrence of polymer-assisted cosolvent condensation. Even though all the molecular interactions are soft, the potential of mean force between two polymer-cosolvent condensates exhibits an anomalous feature of hard-wall repulsion upon contact, which cannot be categorized into any existing types of interchain interactions. This repulsion is enhanced as either the affinity or the bulk cosolvent fraction increases.

By using a combination of spin and angle resolved photoemission and density functional theory to reveal the electronic and spin structures, we illustrate two different mechanisms relying on charge transfer and electronic hybridization for the formation of Rashba states, which are responsible for spin-charge conversion and hence the THz spintronic emission.

Here, we address the singularity issue in quantum sensing through a simple mechanism based on a sequential measurement strategy. This sensing scheme overcomes the singularity constraint and enables the simultaneous estimation of multiple parameters with a local and fixed measurement throughout the sensing protocol. This is because sequential measurements, involving consecutive steps of local measurements followed by probe evolution, inherently produce correlated measurement data that grows exponentially with the number of sequential measurements. Finally, through two different examples, namely a strongly correlated probe and a light-matter system, we demonstrate how such singularities are reflected when inferring the unknown parameters through Bayesian estimation.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Yaoling Yang and Victor Montenegro and Abolfazl Bayat}, doi = {10.1103/gsyv-jllq}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {6}, number = {1}, pages = {010401}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {X-ray ptychography is a robust microscopy technique with nanoscale resolution that requires a spatially and temporally coherent illumination. In a typical setup, the temporal coherence requirements are satisfied by monochromating the x-ray source, e.g., using a crystal monochromator.

Scaling this capability from two dimensions (2D) to three dimensions (3D), and from a single absorption edge to multiple edges, is critical for its applications in structural and elemental characterisation. The method is hitherto limited by the inherently lower maximum count rate of hyperspectral detectors and the chromaticity of the optics often used in x-ray ptychography experiments, namely Fresnel zone plates. In this work, we design an optimized broadband spectroscopic ptychography setup and use it to perform 3D hyperspectral imaging of particles of battery material containing various percentages of nickel, manganese, cobalt (NMC).

  @article{ , abstract = {Moiré superlattices created by stacking atomic layers of transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors have emerged as a class of fascinating artificial photonic and electronic materials.

In heterojunctions of , marked improvement in valley polarization is observed by increasing optical excitation power, a behavior that is quite distinct from the monolayers, and lacks a clear understanding so far. In this Letter, we show that this highly tunable valley property arises from filling of the moiré superlattice, which provides an intriguing mechanism for engineering these quantum opto-valleytronic platforms.

The spinners can self-organize into a wide spectrum of actively rotating three-coordinated network structures, among which a set of stable DHU networks robustly emerge. These DHU networks are topological transformations of a honeycomb network by continuously introducing the Stone-Wales defects, which are resulted from the competition between tunable magnetic binding and local twist due to active rotation of the robots.

As the system is loaded, these soft spots appear as local minima in the energy barrier to buckling and are experimentally shown to act as attractors of nearby deformation.

In this Letter, we uncover the hidden self duality within a class of quasiperiodic network models constituted by periodic and quasiperiodic sites. Although the original Hamiltonians appear to lack self duality, their effective Hamiltonians obtained by integrating out the periodic sites exhibit self duality, which yield MEs. The well-studied mosaic model, which is the simplest case of quasiperiodic network models, was previously thought to exhibit MEs due to the absence of self duality, but we show that they actually arise from the hidden self duality. Using the effective Hamiltonian, we further introduce the concept of resonant states to understand the shape of MEs. Finally, we present in detail how to determine the MEs in various network models, including some non-Hermitian models, based on the hidden self duality.

Recently, the nonlocal mode of metasurfaces has been attracting growing interest because the coupling within the array of plasmonics results in long-range ordering and collective resonances. Here we demonstrate the topological edge states and the nonlocal modes of Au bow ties in a photonic crystal (PHC) lattice. The strong coupling between plasmonic modes and PHC bands opens the topological band gap at the edge of the Brillouin zone and forms the nonlocal mode having a resonant energy insensitive to fluctuations in Au length, resulting in a robust Purcell effect for quantum dots (QDs) coupling with the nonlocal mode in metadevices.

Notably, near the third-order absorbing EP, we show ultrasensitivity—a drastic change in output power in response to perturbations at the operating frequency—in a purely lossy system.

  @article{ , abstract = {High-frequency phonons hold great promise as carriers of quantum information on chip and as quantum memories. Because of their coherent interaction with several systems, their compact mode volume, and slow group velocity, multiple experiments have recently demonstrated coherent transport of information on chip using phonon modes, interconnecting distinct quantum devices. Strongly confined phonons in waveguidelike geometries are particularly interesting because of their long lifetime. However, spectral diffusion has been observed to substantially limit their coherence times [S. M. Meenehan et al. , Silicon optomechanical crystal resonator at millikelvin temperatures, Phys. Rev.

Here, we perform a time-domain study on two adjacent mechanical modes (separated by around 5 MHz) and show that the frequency positions of the two modes are not correlated in time, in agreement with our theoretical model and Monte Carlo simulations.

Our model consists of a light pseudoscalar and an extra Higgs doublet in addition to the standard model field content. We consider a landscape of vacua with varying values of the electroweak vacuum expectation value (VEV). The vacuum energy in our model peaks in a region of the landscape where the electroweak VEV is nonzero and much smaller than the cutoff. During inflation, due to exponential expansion, such regions of the landscape with maximal vacuum energy dominate the universe in volume, thus explaining the observed smallness of the electroweak scale with respect to the cutoff. The pseudoscalar potential in our model is that of a completely generic pseudogoldstone boson—not requiring the clockwork mechanism—and its field value never exceeds its decay constant or the Planck scale. Our mechanism is robust to the variation of other model parameters in the landscape as the electroweak VEV is varied. It also predicts a precise and falsifiable relationship between the masses and couplings of the different Higgs boson mass eigenstates. Moreover, the pseudoscalar in our model can account for the observed dark matter relic density.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Susobhan Chattopadhyay and Dibya S. Chattopadhyay and Rick S.

  @article{ , abstract = {Understanding the physical significance and spectral stability of black hole quasinormal modes is fundamental to high-precision spectroscopy with future gravitational wave detectors. Inspired by Mashhoon’s idea of relating quasinormal modes of black holes with their equivalent bound states in an inverted potential, we investigate, for the first time, energy levels and eigenfunctions of the Schwarzschild black hole quantitatively. While quasinormal modes describe the characteristic damped oscillations of a black hole, the bound states of the inverted potential are qualitatively more similar to those of the hydrogen atom. Although the physical interpretation of these states may initially be of more academic interest, it furthers our understanding of open problems related to quasinormal modes in a similar spirit to Maggiore’s interpretation of the Schwarzschild quasinormal mode spectrum. One surprising insight from the explicit calculation of bound states is that eigenfunctions corresponding to quasinormal mode overtones become rapidly delocalized and extremely loosely bound. This observation raises immediate questions about the common interpretation of quasinormal modes as excitations of the light ring region. Closely related, as a second application, we also explore the spectral stability of bound states and demonstrate that they can provide complementary insights into the quasinormal mode spectrum.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Sebastian H.

  @article{ , abstract = {The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion arises as the pseudo-Goldstone mode of a spontaneously broken Abelian Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry. If the scale of PQ symmetry breaking occurs below the inflationary reheat temperature and the domain wall number is unity, then there is a unique axion mass that gives the observed dark matter (DM) abundance. Computing this mass has been the subject of intensive numerical simulations for decades since the mass prediction informs laboratory experiments. Axion strings develop below the PQ symmetry-breaking temperature, and as the string network evolves, it emits axions that go on to become the DM. A key ingredient in the axion mass prediction is the spectral index of axion radiation emitted by the axion strings. We compute this index in this Letter using the most precise and accurate large-scale simulations to date of the axion-string network leveraging adaptive mesh refinement to achieve the precision that would, otherwise, require a static lattice with 262, lattice sites. We find a scale-invariant axion radiation spectrum to within 1% precision and find no evidence that the spectral index of radiation evolves with time. Accounting for axion production from strings prior to the QCD phase transition leads us to predict that the axion mass should be approximately . However, we provide preliminary evidence that axions are produced in greater quantities from the string-domain-wall network collapse during the QCD phase transition, potentially increasing the mass prediction to as much as .}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Joshua N.

In this Letter, we propose such a protocol and experimentally demonstrate a frequency-bin encoding method of microwave photonic modes using superconducting circuits. We deterministically encode the quantum information from a superconducting qubit by simultaneously emitting its information into two photonic modes at different frequencies, with a process fidelity of 94.9%. The frequency-bin-encoded photonic modes can be used, at the receiver processor, to detect the occurrence of photon loss. Our Letter thus provides a reliable method to implement high-fidelity quantum state transfer in a distributed quantum computing network, incorporating error detection to enhance performance and accuracy.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jiaying Yang and Maryam Khanahmadi and Ingrid Strandberg and Akshay Gaikwad and Claudia Castillo-Moreno and Anton Frisk Kockum and Muhammad Asad Ullah and Göran Johansson and Axel Martin Eriksson and Simone Gasparinetti}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.240803}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {6}, number = {24}, pages = {240803}, shortjournal = {Phys.

These methodologies enable us to establish a universal quantum-classical correspondence that precisely links the real or complex nature of individual energy levels to the symmetry properties of their corresponding semiclassical orbits. Specifically, in systems with a general -pseudo-Hermitian symmetry, real energy levels are quantized along periodic orbits that preserve the corresponding classical symmetry. In contrast, complex conjugate energy levels arise from semiclassical orbits that individually break the symmetry but together form -symmetric pairs. This framework provides a unified explanation for the spectral behaviors in various continuous non-Hermitian models and for the transition in two-level systems.

  @article{ , abstract = {Unlike in crystals, it is difficult to trace emergent material properties of amorphous solids to their underlying structure. Nevertheless, one can tune features of a disordered spring network, ranging from bulk elastic constants to specific allosteric responses, through highly precise alterations of the structure. This has been understood through the notion of independent bond-level response—the observation that, in many cases, different springs have different effects on different properties. While this idea has motivated inverse design in numerous contexts, it has not been formalized and quantified in a general context that not just informs but enables and predicts inverse design. Here, we show how to quantify independent response by linearizing the simultaneous change in multiple emergent features, and introduce the much stronger notion of fully independent response. Remarkably, we find that the mechanical properties of disordered solids are always fully independent across a wide array of scenarios, regardless of the target features, tunable parameters, system size, dimensionality, and class of interactions. Furthermore, our formulation quantifies the susceptibility of features to parameter changes, which is correlated with the maximum linear tunability. We also demonstrate the implications for multifeature inverse design beyond the linear regime.

Here, we demonstrate the nonvolatile switching of angular momentum-carrying phonons by leveraging intrinsic ferrimagnetism in an insulator. We find a pair of chiral phonons with giant energy splitting, reaching 20% of the phonon frequency due to spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry. With a moderate magnetic field, the phonon angular momentum of the two chiral phonon branches can be switched along with the magnetization. Notably, near the critical temperature, the effective phonon magnetic moment is enhanced, reaching 2.62 Bohr magneton, exceeding the moment of a magnon.

  @article{ , abstract = {Supersymmetry (SUSY) proposed as an elementary symmetry for physics beyond the standard model has found important applications in various areas outside high-energy physics. Here, we systematically implement supersymmetric quantum mechanics—exhibiting fundamental SUSY properties in the simple setting of quantum mechanics—into a wide range of topological semimetals, where the broken translational symmetry, e.g., by a magnetic field, is effectively captured by a SUSY potential. We show that the dynamical SUSY breaking via the instanton effect over the SUSY potential valleys works as the underlying mechanism for the gap opening of the topological semimetallic phases, and the magnitude of the instanton effect is proportional to the energy gap. This instanton mechanism provides a simple criterion for determining whether the energy gap has been opened, without resorting to detailed calculations, i.e., a finite energy gap is opened if and only if the SUSY potential has an even number of zeros. Our theory leads to previously unexpected results: even an infinitesimal magnetic field can open a gap in topologically robust Dirac, Weyl, and nodal-line semimetallic phases due to the dynamical SUSY breaking. Overall, the revealed connection between SUSY quantum mechanics and nonuniform topological semimetals can elucidate previously ambiguous phenomena, provide guidance for future investigations, and open a new avenue for exploring topological semimetals.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {W. B.

The presence of a boundary edge in the system entails two types of gapless edge excitation modes, one that is fractonic with immobile charges and longitudinal dipoles, and a second non-fractonic mode consisting of transverse dipoles.

Previous work demonstrates that the high order terms in theory can induce a large warping effect, and consequently snowflakelike Fermi contour in topological insulator (TI). Unfortunately, the effect of warped topological surface state (TSS) on pure spin absorption in heterostructures is completely unknown. Here, by considering strength of spin accumulation, we identified a mechanism for the anisotropic absorption of spin current in a heterostructure with a large warping effect. If the density of states (DOS) of TSS dominates at the Fermi surface, the warping effect results in an anisotropic Gilbert damping at nanosecond timescale and almost isotropic ultrafast demagnetization time at femtosecond timescale. The anisotropy of Gilbert damping is found to decrease as bulk state contributions become more significant in thicker films.

Unlike tight-binding non-Hermitian setups, the bound states in the waveguide-coupled array exhibit infinite radiative lifetimes when the array has an infinite size. However, in a finite array, non-Hermiticity and localization of bound pairs emerge due to their chiral dissociation into scattering states. Counterintuitively, when the photons are preferentially emitted to the right, the bound pairs are localized at the left edge of the array and vice versa.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jiaming Shi and Alexander N.

  @article{ , abstract = {Because of the inherently probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, each experimental realization of a dynamical quantum system can produce distinct measurement outcomes, particularly when coupled to a dissipative environment. Although quantum trajectories that lead to exotic, highly entangled states are possible in principle, their observation is typically hindered by extremely low probabilities. In this Letter, we present a method to significantly enhance the probability of generating highly entangled states in an ensemble of atoms undergoing collective superradiant decay on timescales much shorter than the individual atomic spontaneous emission rate. By analyzing an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian governing the dynamics between photon emission events, we identify the conditions necessary for these rare no-click trajectories to occur with higher likelihood. Crucially, our method relies on initializing the system in a nonclassical state, whose entanglement is amplified via the non-Hermitian superradiant dynamics. This approach provides a new route to creating highly entangled macroscopic states such as atomic Schrödinger cat states, paving the way for advancements in quantum metrology and other quantum technologies.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Christoph Hotter and Arkadiusz Kosior and Helmut Ritsch and Karol Gietka}, doi = {10.1103/w377-f9mx}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {6}, number = {23}, pages = {233601}, shortjournal = {Phys.

The current parametrization used for energy correlators, however, is based on redundant pairwise angles with complex phase space restrictions. In this Letter, we introduce a new parametrization of energy correlators that features a simpler phase space structure and preserves information about the orientation of jet constituents. Further, our parametrization drastically reduces the computational cost to compute energy correlators on experimental data; whereas the time to compute a traditional projected -point energy correlator scales as on a jet with particles, our new parametrization achieves a scaling of , remarkably independently of . Even for , this improved scaling is particularly important for studies of heavy ion collisions, and higher values of will enable new qualitative understanding of gauge theories. Theoretical calculations for our new energy correlators differ from those of traditional parametrizations only at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and beyond, and we expect that our simpler phase space structure will simplify those calculations. We also discuss how to extend our parametrization to resolved -point energy correlators that encode angular distances between greater numbers of particles, yielding intuitive visualizations of jet substructure that are qualitatively different for different jet samples.

We quantify this claim and demonstrate that magnets can have exceptional sensitivity to GWs over a frequency range demarcated by the mechanical and electromagnetic resonant frequencies of the system; indeed, we outline why a magnetic readout strategy can be considered an optimal Weber bar design. The concept is applicable to a broad class of magnets, but can be particularly well exploited by the powerful magnets being deployed in search of axion dark matter, for example, by DMRadio and ADMX-EFR.

In our approach, an input photon is initially stored in the superatom via electromagnetically induced transparency. Subsequently, a second photon is emitted conditioned on the success of the first photon’s storage. Because of the collectively enhanced interaction, both the storage and the emission of the herald photon can be rather efficient in principle. As a demonstration of this technique, we use it to entangle two remote Rydberg superatoms. This method obviates the need for an intermediate node, which is commonly employed in traditional interference-based remote entanglement schemes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Quantum effects in metrology can in principle enhance measurement precision from the so-called standard quantum limit to the Heisenberg limit. Further advancements in quantum metrology largely rely on innovative metrology protocols that can avoid a number of known obstacles, including the challenge of preparing entangled states with sufficient fidelity, the readout noise in measuring highly entangled states, and no-go theorems for quantum metrology under noisy environments. In this Letter, exploiting some peculiar but experimentally feasible dynamical features of a collection of spins with all-to-all time-periodic interactions, we propose a metrology protocol that can circumvent all three mentioned obstacles and yet still make good use of time as a resource for metrology. Specifically, by mapping the dynamics of such a periodically driven spin system to that of a paradigm of quantum chaos but tuned to some high-order quantum resonance, it is shown that a simple SU(2) coherent state can, after evolving to highly entangled states in the ensuing dynamics, be dynamically brought back to the same initial coherent state. The associated quantum Fisher information is found to exhibit quadratic scaling with both the number of spins and the duration of the metrology protocol. The achieved Heisenberg scaling can also largely survive in the presence of Markovian noise. Representing a previously unknown strategy for quantum metrology, the protocol proposed here can be tested on available experimental platforms.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Zhixing Zou and Jiangbin Gong and Weitao Chen}, doi = {10.1103/lkrt-lvng}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {6}, number = {23}, pages = {230802}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Although RMT has been remarkably successful in describing “coarse” features of many-body quantum Hamiltonians in chaotic regimes, such as the Wigner-Dyson level spacing statistics or the volume-law behavior of eigenstate entanglement entropy, it remains a challenge to describe their “finer” features, particularly those arising from spatial locality. Here, we show that we can accurately describe the statistical behavior of eigenstate ensembles in many-body Hamiltonians by using pure random states with physical constraints that capture the essential features of the Hamiltonian, specifically spatial locality and symmetries. We demonstrate our approach on local spin Hamiltonians with a scalar U(1) charge. By constructing ensembles of constrained random states that account for two commuting scalar charges playing the role of energy and magnetization, we describe the patterns of entanglement of midspectrum eigenstates beyond their average volume-law behavior, including corrections and fluctuations, analytically and numerically.

Within the resolution of our measurement, we do not observe the predicted splitting. The inelastic spectrum is well modeled using J 1 , J 2 , J 3 nearest-neighbor exchange interactions with weak uniaxial anisotropy. These interactions have higher symmetry than the crystal lattice, while the interactions predicted to produce the altermagnetic splitting are negligibly small. Therefore, the two magnon modes appear to be degenerate over the entire Brillouin zone and the spin dynamics of MnF 2 is indistinguishable from a classical Néel antiferromagnet. Application of a magnetic field causes a Zeeman splitting of the magnon modes close to the Γ point.

Remarkably, by generalizing the Bistritzer-MacDonald approach to NH systems, we discover exceptional magic angles where the band structure changes from purely real to purely imaginary thus featuring flat bands with infinite lifetime. Between them, the bands remain flattened, and a Hermitian magic angle emerges at which the imaginary part of energy is maximal, and corresponds to the usual magic angle in nondissipative, purely Hermitian TBG.

Iron chalcogenides, which hold the simplest crystal structure in IBSCs, provide a good platform to investigate the relationship. Here, we report Se 77 and Te 125 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of FeSe 0.47 Te 0.53 , which is located close to a nematic quantum critical point (QCP), under pressures up to 1.35 GPa. Both the superconducting critical temperature and AFMSF were found to be enhanced under pressure, which suggests a correlation between SC and AFMSF in FeSe 0.47 Te 0.53 . However, the contribution of AFMSF to SC in FeSe 0.47 Te 0.53 was found to be much less compared to that in FeSe 1 − x S x , suggesting that nematic fluctuations play a dominant role in the SC in FeSe 1 − x Te x around the nematic QCP.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Qing-Ping Ding and Juan Schmidt and Jose A.

We consider two scenarios: when Galilean invariance is broken explicitly (by external potentials) and spontaneously, as it happens in a supersolid. In the former case, the presence of a stationary current affects the propagation of sound via an anomalous Doppler term proportional to the density derivative of the superfluid fraction. In supersolids, where, according to Goldstone theorem, distinct sounds of hybrid superfluid and crystal nature can propagate, the Doppler effect can be very different for each sound. Quantitative estimates of the Doppler shifts are obtained for Bose-Einstein condensed atomic gases, described by Gross-Pitaevskii theory.

Toward this end, we here develop a universal theory of fluctuation statistics for nonlinear multimode optical systems. Our results reveal a transition from narrow quasi-Lorentzian statistics in the low temperature regime, to an exponential distribution at higher temperatures. We show that this peculiar morphing of the underlying photostatistics is unique to microcanonical systems and has no analog in grand canonical configurations. A comparison between direct phase space integration and numerical simulations shows excellent agreement with our theoretical results, providing a testament to ergodicity even in nonlinear systems with very few modes.

Recent advancements have expanded from conservative wave systems to diffusion systems with dissipative interactions. However, the transition region between wave and diffusion dynamics remains scarce, primarily due to the complexities involved in coupling modulation. Here, we develop a universal coupling control scheme via reservoir engineering, achieving conservative, dissipative, and mixed topologies in an optical waveguide array. Contrary to the belief that topological modes are disorder resistant, we found that topological dissipative modes are highly sensitive to initial excitations and noise. This sensitivity is due to their residence within the complex band gap, facilitating the excitation and preservation of bulk modes with lower loss. We also propose a method to control the degree of topological robustness and even stabilize these sensitive topological states by selectively managing dissipative potentials.

  @article{ , abstract = {We have investigated the transient properties of a ZnO crystal under a pump pulse (pumped crystal) using a pump-probe methodology. By monitoring the second harmonic of the weak probe pulse generated from the pumped crystal, we observe that the angular distribution of the second-harmonic yield becomes asymmetric compared to that without the pump. Importantly, the asymmetry of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) appears to be retarded by nearly 25 fs relative to the pump pulse, and its scaling shows a highly nonlinear dependence on the pump intensity. In addition, by using a two-color pump pulse, we further demonstrate that the asymmetry of SHG is controllable by adjusting the electric field of the two-color pulse. These phenomena can be attributed to the strong-field-induced electric-field-dependent Stark effect. Unlike the conventional intensity-dependent Stark effect, where only energy levels of the pumped target move, electric-field-dependent Stark effect indicates that the excitation induced by the pump pulse can distort the orbital and plays a vital role on the transient property of the pumped crystal. Our work suggests a new freedom for rationally designing the transient property of crystals by controlling the electric field of the pump pulse, which paves the way for realizing petahertz high-speed signal processing.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Liang Li and Wei He and Shiqi Liang and Pengfei Lan and Peixiang Lu}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.223801}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {6}, number = {22}, pages = {223801}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Applying our method to the time evolution of entanglement entropy, we find that, for generic cases, the entanglement entropy shows discontinuities (shockwave fronts) propagating from the boundaries.

Many theories explaining this counter-intuitive behavior in classical systems rely on memory effects. However, in quantum systems, the relation between the Mpemba effect and memory has remained unexplored. In this Letter, we consider general non-Markovian open quantum systems and reveal new classes of quantum Mpemba effects, with no analog in Markovian quantum dynamics. Generically, open quantum dynamics possess a finite memory time and a unique steady state. Because of non-Markovian dynamics, even if the system is initialized in the steady state it can take a long time to relax back. We find other initial states that reach the steady state much faster. Most notably, we demonstrate that there can be an initial state in which the system reaches the steady state within the finite memory time itself, giving the fastest possible relaxation to stationarity.

We identify situations where batteries in higher charge states can discharge faster than less charged states. Specifically, we consider a quantum battery encoded in a single bosonic mode that is charged using unitary Gaussian operations. We show that the ergotropy, used here as a dynamical indicator of the energy stored in the battery, can be recast as a phase space relative entropy between the system’s state and the unitarily connected passive state, at each time.

Time differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) data at temperatures below, close, and above the magnetic Néel temperature show that the coupling of the ferroelectric order to magnetization is completely absent at the bismuth site. It is common understanding that the antiferromagnetic order and the cycloidal ordering due to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction generate a net zero magnetization of the sample canceling out any magnetoelectric effect at the macroscopic level. Our previous data show that a very large coupling of magnetic moment and electrical distortions arises on the magnetic sublattice (Fe site). The oxygen octahedra around the iron site experience a large tilt due to the onset of magnetic ordering. Nevertheless, the Bi-containing complementary sublattice carrying the largest part of ferroelectric order is practically unaffected by this large structural change in its direct vicinity.

  @article{ , abstract = {Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is a significant topic in particle physics, condensed matter physics, fluid dynamics, etc. In nonlinear optics, polarization is a crucial degree of freedom that enables novel SSB dynamics in coherently pumped Kerr platforms, yet to be explored in laser systems with self-organized localized structure—dissipative soliton. In this study, a special kind of SSB—polarization symmetry breaking (PSB) of GHz dissipative solitons is demonstrated in a mini fiber laser. First, we establish a bidirectional model of the Fabry-Pérot (FP) mini fiber laser with orthogonally polarized counterpropagating light fields. This bidirectional model theoretically predicts the onset of PSB by merely increasing the soliton energy, which manifests as a Hopf bifurcation. Then, experimental validation is performed by implementing a FP mini fiber laser operating at a GHz repetition rate. An abrupt change of the polarization dynamics from the fixed-point attractor to the limit cycle is observed as the soliton energy increases. To verify these findings in real time, specialized polarization-resolved ultrafast techniques are developed for the analysis of high-repetition-rate vectorial signals. The measurements, including the full-Stokes characterization, not only confirm the presence of PSB but also elucidate the underlying physical mechanism associated with the polarization rotation of vector solitons.

  @article{ , abstract = {A major limitation of laser interferometers using continuous wave lasers are parasitic light fields, such as ghost beams, scattered or stray light, that can cause nonlinear noise. This is especially relevant for laser interferometric ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Increasing their sensitivity, particularly at frequencies below 10 Hz, is threatened by the influence of parasitic photons. These can up-convert low-frequency disturbances into phase and amplitude noise inside the relevant measurement band. By artificially tuning the coherence of the lasers, using pseudo-random-noise (PRN) phase modulations, this influence of parasitic fields can be suppressed. As it relies on these fields traveling different paths, it does not sacrifice the coherence for the intentional interference. We demonstrate the feasibility of this technique experimentally, achieving noise suppression levels of 40 dB in a Michelson interferometer with an artificial coherence length below 30 cm. We probe how the suppression depends on the delay mismatch and length of the PRN sequence. We also prove that optical resonators can be operated in the presence of PRN modulation by measuring the behavior of a linear cavity with and without such a modulation.

  @article{ , abstract = {High-order nonlinear optical processes beyond four-wave mixing ( ) are crucial for advancing ultraviolet (UV) light sources and quantum technologies, yet their practical implementation remains challenging due to inherently weak high-order nonlinear susceptibilities and stringent broadband phase-matching requirements—limitations that persist even in state-of-the-art high-Q microresonators. A breakthrough transverse multiwave mixing scheme is proposed in a high-Q lithium niobate microresonator, only under a single continuous-wave (cw) laser pump. Our approach leverages self-organized subwavelength photorefractive gratings (SPGs) generated through a bidirectional stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) process in the microresonator, without using two external counterpropagating lasers. Under single-wavelength pumping (1546 nm), bidirectional SRS (1713 nm) spontaneously generates dynamic SPGs that enable dual-function control: (1) broadband momentum compensation ( , period) to resolve broadband phase-matching challenges in high-order nonlinear interactions and (2) preservation of ultrahigh-quality factor ( ) for enhanced nonlinear conversion. Moreover, unlike conventional longitudinal configurations requiring more rigid multiwavelength resonance alignment, our transverse architecture decouples nonlinear processes from cavity-mode constraints through SPG-mediated momentum engineering, enabling simultaneous support for sum-frequency generation to six-wave mixing processes across 500-nm bandwidth with high conversion efficiencies. Furthermore, the cascaded SRS process is simultaneously activated to generate a light signal for subsequent nonlinear interactions. Consequently, this novel approach enables the first demonstration of single-pump phase-matched transverse SFG with record conversion efficiency ( ), and transverse multiwave mixing processes from (four-wave) to (six-wave) processes are achieved for the first time using only the single cw pump, leading to efficient visible and UV light generation, representing a notable advance in nonlinear integration.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Chuntao Li and Ni Yao and Huakang Yu and Jintian Lin and Renhong Gao and Jiale Deng and Jianglin Guan and Lingling Qiao and Ya Cheng}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.213801}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {5}, number = {21}, pages = {213801}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Quantum states of light, particularly at optical frequencies, are considered necessary to realize a host of important quantum technologies and applications, spanning Heisenberg-limited metrology, continuous-variable quantum computing, and quantum communications. Nevertheless, a wide variety of important quantum light states are currently challenging to deterministically generate at optical frequencies. In part, this is due to a relatively small number of schemes that prepare target quantum states given nonlinear interactions. Here, we present an especially simple concept for deterministically generating and stabilizing important quantum states of light, using only third-order optical nonlinearities and engineered dissipation. We show how, by considering either a nonlinear cavity with frequency-dependent outcoupling or a chain of nonlinear waveguides, one can induce high loss for all but some desired light intensities. Specifically, we find that the stabilized intensities can correspond to an evenly spaced pattern of stablilized photon numbers. This is shown to produce important quantum states with coherent superpositions between various photon numbers. As examples of this phenomenon, we show cavities which can stabilize squeezed states, as well as produce “photon-number-comb” states. Moreover, in these types of filter cavities, Glauber coherent states will deterministically evolve into Schrodinger cat states of a desired order. We discuss potential realizations in quantum nonlinear optics. More broadly, we expect that combining the techniques introduced here with additional “phase-sensitive” nonlinearities (such as second-order nonlinearity) should enable passive stabilization and generation of a wider variety of states than shown here.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Sean Chen and Nicholas Rivera and Jamison Sloan and Marin Soljačić}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.213601}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {5}, number = {21}, pages = {213601}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In this study, we unveil a whole new form of edge states supported by non-Hermitian systems that transcends the established paradigms of band-gap topology. In contrast to the traditional stable edge states in topological insulators with specific band gaps, the one-dimensional systems we investigate are inherently gapless with the Brillouin zones being mapped to the loops encircling hypersurface singularities in a higher-dimensional space with parity-time symmetry. These hypersurface singularities are nonisolated degeneracies embedded entirely on exceptional surfaces, rendering the energy gaps in our systems inevitably closed at the intersections of the Brillouin zone loop and the exceptional surfaces. Unexpectedly, such gapless systems still afford topologically protected edge states at system boundaries, challenging the conventional understanding based on band gaps. To elucidate the existence of these edge states in the absence of a band-gap-based invariant, we propose a theoretical framework based on eigenframe rotation and deformation that incorporates non-Bloch band theory.

This makes it challenging to link NS equations to observed flow patterns. In this Letter, we demonstrate that the hydrodynamic behavior of the charge current at half filling can emerge despite the absence of momentum flow. By combining Boltzmann transport theory with numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations of clean graphene samples, we show that NS-type equations can be derived directly for the charge current, eliminating the need for any additional mechanism coupling the velocity field and charge current in explaining the experimentally observed hydrodynamic flow profiles in graphene at half filling.

  @article{ , abstract = {Photonic Ising machines constitute an emergent new paradigm of computation geared toward tackling combinatorial optimization problems that can be reduced to the problem of finding the ground state of an Ising model. Spatial photonic Ising machines (SPIMs) have proven advantageous for simulating fully connected large-scale spin systems. Fine control of a general interaction matrix has been accomplished so far only through matrix decomposition methods. We introduce and experimentally validate a SPIM instance that enables direct control over the full interaction matrix, allowing the encoding of Ising Hamiltonians with arbitrary couplings and connectivity. We demonstrate the conformity of the experimentally measured Ising energy with the theoretically expected value and then proceed to solve both the unweighted and weighted graph partitioning problems, showcasing a systematic convergence to an optimal solution via simulated annealing. Our approach significantly expands the applicability of SPIMs for real-world applications, as it is more efficient than matrix decomposition methods in the case of sparse problems. It paves the way to encoding the full range of NP problems that are known to be equivalent to Ising models on SPIM devices.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jason Sakellariou and Alexis Askitopoulos and Georgios Pastras and Symeon I.

It is the phase of the response that is instrumental in extracting that intrinsic nonlinearity. Our interferometric readout results in high-harmonics generation. These harmonics have a clear spatial profile that shows ringlike patterns resembling previous reports.

The implementation with trapped ion crystals in free space allows us to observe the anticorrelation between photon rates and variance of the photon number distributions in chains of up to 18 ions. For smaller crystals of four ions, the transition from antibunching to bunching and super-Poissonian statistics of the scattered light is reported.

Certifying quantum networks becomes even more crucial when the privacy of their users is exposed to malicious quantum nodes or servers as in the case of multiclient distributed blind quantum computing, where several clients delegate a joint private computation to remote quantum servers, such as federated quantum machine learning. In such protocols, security must be provided not only by keeping data hidden but also by verifying that the server is correctly performing the requested computation while minimizing the hardware assumptions on the employed devices. Notably, standard verification techniques fail in scenarios where the clients receive quantum states from untrusted sources such as in a recently demonstrated linear quantum network performing multiclient blind quantum computation. However, recent theoretical results provide techniques to verify blind quantum computations even in the case of untrusted state preparation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Quantum thermodynamics studies how quantum systems and operations may be exploited as sources of work to perform useful thermodynamic tasks. In real-world conditions, the evolution of open quantum systems typically displays memory effects, resulting in a non-Markovian dynamics. The associated information backflow has been observed to provide advantage in certain thermodynamic tasks. However, a general operational connection between non-Markovianity and thermodynamics in the quantum regime has remained elusive. Here, we analyze the role of non-Markovianity in the central task of extracting work via thermal operations from general multitime quantum processes, as described by process tensors.

  @article{ , abstract = {Collective excitations of charged particles under the influence of an electromagnetic field give rise to a rich variety of hybrid light-matter quasiparticles with unique properties. In metals, intraband collective response manifested by negative permittivity leads to plasmon polaritons with extreme field confinement, wavelength “squeezing,” and potentially low propagation losses. In contrast, photons in semiconductors commonly couple to interband collective response in the form of exciton polaritons, which give rise to completely different polaritonic properties, described by a superposition of the photon and exciton and an anti-crossing of the eigenstates. In this work, we identify the existence of plasmon-like collective excitations originating from the interband excitonic response of biased bilayer and trilayer graphene, in the form of graphene exciton polaritons (GEPs). We find that GEPs possess electrically tunable polaritonic properties and discover that such excitations follow a universal dispersion law for all surface polaritons in 2D excitonic systems. Accounting for nonlocal corrections to the excitonic response, we find that the GEPs exhibit confinement factors that can exceed those of graphene plasmons, and with moderate losses that would enable their observation in cryo-SNOM experiments.

  @article{ , abstract = {In the search of fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) effect, the conventional wisdom is to start from a flat Chern band isolated from the rest of the Hilbert space by band gaps, so that many-body interaction can be projected to a landscape that mimics a Landau level. Singular flat bands (SFB), which share protected touching points with other dispersive bands, represent another type of flat landscapes differing from Landau levels and Chern bands in topological and geometric properties. Here we report the finding of FQAH phases in a SFB, which emerges in the bipartite limit of the nearest-neighbor tight-binding model of twisted bilayer . At and filling of the SFB, FQAH effects are demonstrated using density matrix renormalization group calculations with all bands, as well as exact diagonalization calculations with the two touching bands. Gapping the band touching can turn the SFB into a nearly flat Chern band, but counterintuitively this suppresses the FQAH effect, as the gap opening introduces strong inhomogeneity to the quantum geometry. An optical scheme to realize such SFB for cold atoms is provided.

While the predicted scaling is not observed experimentally—likely suppressed by dominant weak localization effects—the scaling is clearly confirmed in our measurements.

Here, advancing the IST perturbation theory approach, we introduce the eigenvalue response functions, which provide an intuitively clear way to manipulate individual characteristics of solitons even in the case of their entire overlapping, i.e., very strong interactions. The response functions reveal the spatial sensitivity of the multisoliton pulse concerning its instantaneous perturbations, allowing one to manipulate the velocities and amplitudes of each soliton. Based on a recirculating optical fiber loop system and homodyne measurement, our experimental setup enables observation of long-distance spatiotemporal NLSE dynamics and complete phase-amplitude characterization of optical pulses containing several solitons, which provides accurate experimental IST spectra. Adding a localized phase perturbation on a box-shaped wave field, we change individual soliton characteristics and can detach solitons selectively from the whole pulse.

In addition, expansion in terms of the pulse phases enables us to disentangle different excitation pathways in Liouville space, thereby distinguishing contributions to the nonlinear response. The formalism extends traditional free-space nonlinear spectroscopy by incorporating the feedback of matter onto the light field via the induced polarization.

Within our approach, based on the Gaussian integral transform, we consistently treat the ground state and the excited spectrum. Crucially, the method allows for a robust uncertainty estimation of the spectral reconstruction. We employ it to obtain the spin response in neutron matter. Our calculations are performed using state-of-the-art many-body coupled-cluster method and Hamiltonians derived in the chiral effective field theory, emphasizing the analysis of finite-size effects. Our findings reveal that the spin response exhibits a strong dependence on both nuclear interactions and many-body wave functions, offering a new avenue for exploring nuclear correlations and dynamics in infinite systems. This work serves as a stepping stone toward further studies of neutrino interactions in astrophysical environments from first principles.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {J. E. Sobczyk and W.

Furthermore, the knowledge of the N3LO soft function enables the resummed description of the thrust distribution in the process e + e − → hadrons through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order, which is important for the extraction of the strong coupling constant using this shape variable.

  @article{ , abstract = {Two universal predictions of general relativity are the propagation of gravitational waves of large momentum along null geodesics and the isospectrality of quasinormal modes in many families of black holes. In extensions of general relativity, these properties are typically lost: quasinormal modes are no longer isospectral and gravitational wave propagation is no longer geodesic and it exhibits birefringence—polarization-dependent speed. We study these effects in an effective-field-theory extension of general relativity with up to eight-derivative terms and show that there is a unique Lagrangian that has a nonbirefringent dispersion relation for gravitational waves and isospectral quasinormal modes in the eikonal limit. We argue that both properties are related through a generalized correspondence between eikonal quasinormal modes and unstable photon-sphere orbits. These properties define a special class of theories that we denote as isospectral effective field theories. We note that the lowest-order isospectral correction to general relativity coincides with the quartic-curvature correction arising from type II string theory, suggesting that isospectrality might be a key feature of quantum gravity.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Pablo A.

Establishing the thermal history from the early radiation era to the present, the fermions are shown to behave like standard radiation at high temperatures, but then experience a critical era decaying faster than radiation, akin to freeze-out, which sets the relic abundance. Through a second-order phase transition, fermion-antifermion pairs condense and the system asymptotes toward zero temperature and pressure. By the present era, the nonrelativistic, massive condensate decays slightly faster than in the standard scenario–a unique prediction that may be tested by combined measurements of the cosmic microwave background and large scale structure.

  @article{ , abstract = {Models of scalar field dark matter where the scalar is a dilaton have a special behavior, since nontrivial couplings, d , to matter result in a contribution to the potential for the field that is proportional to the trace of the stress-energy tensor. We look in more detail at the dilaton mass, m ϕ , and initial conditions required to yield the correct relic abundance for couplings that are not already excluded by terrestrial experiments. In minimal models with only couplings accessible to terrestrial searches, we find that dilaton dark matter with m ϕ ≳ 10 − 10 eV requires couplings suppressed compared to constraints from equivalence principle tests and fifth force searches in order to not produce too much dark matter, improving on the strongest current experimental constraints by up to ∼ O ( 10 ) , with consequences for the proposed mechanical resonator dilaton dark matter searches. In nonminimal or universally coupled models, the unconstrained couplings of the dilaton to, e.g., the top quark can strongly influence the relic abundance at all masses. In particular, this implies that atom interferometry searches at masses m ϕ ≈ 10 − 19 eV are unable to constrain the early Universe behavior or UV physics of the dilaton. We also find that dilatonic couplings allow for compatibility of m ϕ ≳ 10 − 7 eV with an observably large tensor-to-scalar ratio in the cosmic microwave background, which is not possible for a decoupled scalar of the same mass.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Ahmad Alachkar and Malcolm Fairbairn and David J. E.

Moreover, the dependence on cosmological parameters is efficiently approximated using radial basis function interpolation. We apply our framework to decompose the linear matter power spectrum in the standard scenario, as well as by adding curvature, dynamical dark energy and massive neutrinos, covering all redshifts relevant for Stage IV surveys. With only a dozen basis terms , cobra reproduces exact Boltzmann solver calculations to precision, which improves further to in the pure scenario. Using our decomposition, we recast the one-loop redshift space galaxy power spectrum in a separable minimal-basis form, enabling model evaluations per second at precision on a single thread. This constitutes a considerable improvement over previously existing methods (e.g., FFTLog) opening a new window for efficient computations of higher loop and higher order correlators involving multiple powers of the linear matter power spectra.

The entangling layer is mediated by a relativistic quantum field instead of through direct coupling between the qubits. Within this setting, we give a prescription for how to use quantum field-mediated entanglement and manipulation of the relativistic motion of qubits to obtain a universal gate set, for which compact nonperturbative expressions that are valid for general spacetimes are also obtained.

In this Letter, we address some open questions about the inequality: What is the maximum violation of Tsirelson’s inequality possible in quantum theory? Might other theories do better? By considering the precession protocol in a theory-independent manner for systems with finitely many outcomes, we derive a general bound for the maximum possible violation. This theory-independent bound must be satisfied by any theory whose expectation values are linear functions of observables—which includes classical, quantum, and all general probabilistic theories—and depends only on the minimum positive and negative measurement outcomes. Given any such two values, we prove by construction that quantum theory always saturates this bound.

On interfaces with positive Gaussian curvature, an inner region still adopts a cylindrical shape while the outer region is under azimuthal compression. Numerical energy minimization confirms our predictions and shows that this behavior holds for finite slopes.

At the critical point, the cascade begins as a critical branching process, where each failing node (element) triggers, on average, the failure of one other node. As nodes continue to fail, the network becomes increasingly fragile, and the branching factor grows. If the failure process does not reach extinction during its critical phase, the network undergoes an abrupt collapse. Here, we implement the analogy between this dynamic and birth-death processes to derive new analytical results and significantly optimize numerical calculations. Using this approach, we analyze three key aspects of the dynamics: the probability of collapse, the duration of avalanches, and the length of the cascading plateau phase preceding a collapse.

  @article{ , abstract = {In the hydrodynamic theory, the nonequilibrium dynamics of a many-body system is approximated, at large scales of space and time, by irreversible relaxation to local entropy maximization. This results in a convective equation corrected by viscous or diffusive terms in a gradient expansion, such as the Navier-Stokes equations. Diffusive terms are evaluated using the Kubo formula, and possibly arising from an emergent noise due to discarded microscopic degrees of freedom. In one dimension of space, diffusive scaling is often broken as noise leads to superdiffusion. But in linearly degenerate hydrodynamics, such as that of integrable models, diffusive behaviors are observed, and it has long been thought that the standard diffusive picture remains valid. In this Letter, we show that in such systems, the Navier-Stokes equation breaks down beyond linear response. We demonstrate that diffusive-order corrections do not take the form of a gradient expansion. Instead, they are completely determined by ballistic transport of initial-state fluctuations, and obtained from the nonlocal two-point correlations recently predicted by the ballistic macroscopic fluctuation theory; the resulting hydrodynamic equations are reversible. To do so, we establish a regularized fluctuation theory, putting on a firm basis the recent idea that ballistic transport of initial-state fluctuations determines fluctuations and correlations beyond the Euler scale. This extends the idea of “diffusion from convection” previously developed to explain the Kubo formula in integrable systems to generic nonequilibrium settings.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Friedrich Hübner and Leonardo Biagetti and Jacopo De Nardis and Benjamin Doyon}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.187101}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {187101}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Thermodynamics of degenerate Fermi gases has been extensively studied through various aspects such as Pauli blocking effects, collective modes, BCS superfluidity, and more. Despite this, multicomponent fermions with imbalanced spin configurations remain largely unexplored, particularly beyond the two-component scenario. In this Letter, we generalize the thermodynamic study of fermions to spin-imbalanced configurations based on density fluctuations. Theoretically, we provide closed-form expressions of density fluctuation across all temperature ranges for general spin population setups. Experimentally, after calibrating the measurements with deeply degenerate Fermi gases under spin-balanced configurations ( ), we examine the density fluctuations in spin-imbalanced systems. Specifically, we investigate two-species and four-species configurations to validate our theoretical predictions. Our analysis indicates that interaction enhancement effects can be significant even in highly spin-imbalanced systems. Finally, as an application, we use this approach to examine the decoherence process. Our Letter provides a deeper understanding of the thermodynamic features of spin-imbalanced multicomponent Fermi gases and opens new avenues for exploring complex quantum many-body systems.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Chengdong He and Xin-Yuan Gao and Ka Kwan Pak and Yu-Jun Liu and Peng Ren and Mengbo Guo and Entong Zhao and Yangqian Yan and Gyu-Boong Jo}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.183406}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {183406}, shortjournal = {Phys.

We first compare our results for small systems with quasi-exact calculations based on quantum trajectories, finding a remarkably good agreement for experimentally relevant boson fillings that improves further with system size. For large systems, we observe metastability at very long times and superfluid quasi–long range order, in sharp contrast with the true long range order found in the ground state of the approximate Bose-Hubbard model with extended interactions, obtained by adiabatically eliminating the cavity field. As the strength of the light-matter coupling increases, the system first becomes supersolid at the Dicke superradiant transition and then turns into a charge-density wave via the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism.

We present a diagrammatic Monte Carlo algorithm that can be applied to self-bound systems with discrete energy levels at zero temperature, and demonstrate its potential for the Richardson model of nuclear pairing. We show that sampling the topological space of diagrams allows the inclusion of high-order excitations that are neglected in state-of-the-art approximations used in nuclear physics and quantum chemistry.

There spontaneously appear stable two-dimensional skyrmions or lumps on a soliton surface, which can be viewed as three-dimensional skyrmions carrying even baryon numbers from the bulk.

  @article{ , abstract = {The search for axions sits at the intersection of solving critical problems in fundamental physics, including the strong C P problem in QCD, uncovering the nature of dark matter, and understanding the origin of the Universe’s matter-antimatter asymmetry. The measurement of axion mediated spin-dependent interactions offers a powerful approach for axion detection. However, it has long been restricted to regions outside the “axion window” due to a significant trade-off: the need to effectively suppress the magnetic leakage from highly polarized spin sources while simultaneously detecting subfemtotesla level exotic physics signals at sub-decimeter-scale distances. In this work, we report new experimental results on axion mediated exotic spin-spin interactions using an iron-shielded SmCo 5 spin source in combination with a specially designed self-compensation comagnetometer. Employing a composite shielding structure, we achieved a suppression of the magnetic field by up to 10 11 . This enabled us to establish new constraints on the coupling between electrons and neutrons, improving previous experimental limits by up to 10 000 times within the axion window. Furthermore, we also set the strongest constraints on the coupling between electrons and protons. The proposed method holds substantial potential not only for advancing the search for new physics beyond the standard model but also for enabling transformative applications in biological and chemical research.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Zitong Xu and Xing Heng and Guoqing Tian and Di Gong and Lei Cong and Wei Ji and Dmitry Budker and Kai Wei}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.181801}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {181801}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {We present a new gauging of maximal supergravity in five spacetime dimensions with gauge group containing ISO(5), involving the local scaling symmetry of the metric, and admitting a supersymmetric anti–de Sitter vacuum. We show this maximal supergravity to arise by consistent truncation of M theory on the (nonspherical, nonparallelizable) six-dimensional geometry associated to a stack of N M5 branes wrapped on a smooth Riemann surface. The existence of this truncation allows us to holographically determine the complete, universal spectrum of light operators of the dual four-dimensional N = 2 theory of class S . We then compute holographically the superconformal index of the dual field theory at large N , finding perfect agreement with previously known field theory results in specific limits.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Ritabrata Bhattacharya and Abhay Katyal and Oscar Varela}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.181601}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {181601}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In that case, the shell bounces into a new universe through a white hole explosion.

Here, we propose a modified scheme in which classical randomness injected during the protocol is converted by quantum chaos into quantum randomness of the resulting state ensemble. We show that for generic chaotic systems this conversion is optimal in that each bit of injected classical entropy generates as much additional quantum randomness as adding an extra qubit to B . This significantly enhances the randomness of the projected ensemble without imposing additional demands on the quantum hardware.

To account for this coupling, a specific Hamiltonian incorporating the rotational, torsional, and electronic degrees of freedom is developed and allows us to reproduce the experimental spectrum.

The presence of such elements dominates the accompanying kilonova emission over the first few days and have been identified in the AT2017gfo event, associated to the gravitational wave detection GW170817. Abundance calculations based on over 17 000 simulated trajectories describing the evolution of matter properties in the merger outflows show that the new data lead to an increase of 50%–70% in the abundance of Y, Zr, Nb, and Mo.

In the athermal limit, the two states are connected by a well-defined jamming transition, near which the solid is marginally stable. A recent mechanical response screening theory proposes an additional transition above jamming, called a plastic-to-elastic transition here, separating anomalous and quasielastic mechanical behavior. Through numerical inflation simulations in two dimensions, we show that the onsets of long-range radial and angular correlations of particle displacements decouple, occurring, respectively, at the jamming and plastic-to-elastic transitions. The latter is characterized by a power-law diverging correlation angle and a power-law spectrum of the displacements along a circle.

  @article{ , abstract = {Strong correlation brings a rich array of emergent phenomena, as well as a daunting challenge to theoretical physics study. In condensed matter physics, the fractional quantum Hall effect is a prominent example of strong correlation, with Landau level mixing being one of the most challenging aspects to address using traditional computational methods. Deep learning real-space neural network wave function methods have emerged as promising architectures to describe electron correlations in molecules and materials, but their power has not been fully tested for exotic quantum states. In this work, we employ real-space neural network wave function techniques to investigate fractional quantum Hall systems. On both and filling systems, we achieve energies consistently lower than exact diagonalization results which only consider the lowest Landau level. We also demonstrate that the real-space neural network wave function can naturally capture the extent of Landau level mixing up to a very high level, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. Our work underscores the potential of neural networks for future studies of strongly correlated systems and opens new avenues for exploring the rich physics of the fractional quantum Hall effect.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Yubing Qian and Tongzhou Zhao and Jianxiao Zhang and Tao Xiang and Xiang Li and Ji Chen}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.176503}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {17}, pages = {176503}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Herein we report the first observation of strongly hybridized phonons in 1D condensed matters by using double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs), representative 1D van der Waals crystals, by combining the spectroscopic and microscopic tools as well as the ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We observe uncharted phonon modes in one commensurate and three incommensurate DWNT crystals, three of which concurrently exhibit strongly reconstructed electronic band structures. Our DFT calculations for the experimentally observed commensurate DWNT (7, 7) @ (12, 12) reveal that this new phonon mode originates from a (nearly) degenerate coupling between two transverse acoustic modes (ZA modes) of constituent inner and outer nanotubes having approximately trigonal and pentagonal rotational symmetry along the nanotube circumferences. Such coupling strongly hybridizes the two phonon modes in different shells and leads to the formation of a unique lattice motion featuring evenly distributed vibrational amplitudes over inner and outer nanotubes, distinct from any known phonon modes in 1D systems. All four DWNTs that exhibit the pronounced new phonon modes show small chiral angle twists, closely matched diameter ratios of 3 5 and decreased frequencies of new phonon modes with increased diameters, all supporting the uncovered coupling mechanism.

  @article{ , abstract = {Extended gamma-ray emission around isolated pulsars at TeV energies, also known as TeV halos, have been found around a handful of middle-aged pulsars. The halos are significantly more extended than their pulsar wind nebulae but much smaller than the particle diffusion length in the interstellar medium. The origin of TeV halos is unknown. Interpretations invoke either local effects related to the environment of a pulsar or generic particle transport behaviors. The latter scenario predicts that TeV halos would be a universal phenomena for all pulsars. We searched for extended gamma-ray emission around 36 isolated middle-aged pulsars identified by radio and gamma-ray facilities using 2321 days of data from the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory. Through a stacking analysis comparing TeV flux models against a background-only hypothesis, we identified TeV halolike emission at a significance level of . Our results imply that extended TeV gamma-ray halos may commonly exist around middle-aged pulsars.

  @article{ , abstract = {Long-range entanglement is an important quantum resource, particularly for topological orders and quantum error correction. In reality, preparing long-range entangled states requires a deep unitary circuit, which poses significant experimental challenges. A promising avenue is offered by replacing some quantum resources with local operations and classical communication (LOCC). With these classical components, one can communicate outcomes of midcircuit measurements in distant subsystems, substantially reducing circuit depth in many important cases. However, to prepare general long-range entangled states, finding LOCC-assisted circuits of a short depth remains an open question. Here, to address this challenge, we propose a quantum-classical hybrid algorithm to find optimal LOCC protocols for preparing ground states of given Hamiltonians. In our algorithm, we introduce an efficient way to estimate parameter gradients and use such gradients for variational optimization. Theoretically, we establish the conditions for the absence of barren plateaus, ensuring trainability at a large system size. Numerically, the algorithm accurately solves the ground state of long-range entangled models, such as the perturbed Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state and surface code.

Remarkably, we find that these mechanical differences already occur during priming, not just after a cell has committed to differentiation. Specifically, we show that PrE-primed cells exhibit significantly higher elasticity than EPI-primed cells, characterized by lower power spectrum scaling exponents, higher Young’s modulus, and lower loss tangent. Using a model of two cell types differing only in elasticity, we show that differential elasticity alone is sufficient to lead to segregation between cell types, suggesting that the mechanical attributes of the cells contribute to the segregation process. Importantly, we find that this process relies on cellular activity.

  @article{ , abstract = {Charged domain walls (CDWs) in ferroelectrics are often characterized as excited states, even after full bound charge compensation at domain walls (DWs). Here, we propose a mechanism where negative gradient energy ( E grad ) counteracts the large positive electrostatic energy ( E el ) induced by bound charge at DWs, stabilizing the CDWs over the bulk state, even with partial or no bound charge compensation. As proof of scheme, we demonstrate that negative E grad of modes, which reverse their sign during the formation of CDWs in HfO 2 , partially offsets E el . Their corresponding remaining E el can be neutralized by partial bound charge compensation. Exceeding this partial compensation, achieved through the substitution of Nb 5 + at tail-to-tail and Y 3 + at head-to-head DWs for Hf 4 + , CDWs exhibit unprecedented stability over the bulk state. The 1.33 eV band gap of the most stable CDW is particularly suitable for photovoltaic applications due to their potential for efficient electron-hole separation. We further reveal that negative phonon band curvatures are useful descriptors to uncover the origin of negative E grad in such CDWs, which can be estimated simply by phonon band fitting, making our scheme easy to implement for realizing CDWs beyond HfO 2 .}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Pawan Kumar and Dipti Gupta and Jun Hee Lee}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.166101}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {166101}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Since the pioneering works of Landau and Feynman, the origin of a roton minimum in the excitation spectrum of a quantum Bose liquid has been debated. A consensus has been reached on relation of the roton to eventual solidification, but this viewpoint still remains to be connected to the polaronic concept of an impurity pushing through a dense medium. The diagrammatic theory allows one to approach the problem qualitatively from a dilute limit. We revisit the equation for the elementary excitation spectrum obtained in the ladder approximation and argue that polaronic renormalization of the quasiparticle mass has a contribution due to matter-wave refraction. At low energies attenuation of the quasiparticle wave turns out to be dramatically suppressed by the condensate. Refractive correction to the mass is enhanced by Bose statistics at high momenta and produces autolocalization of an elementary excitation upon increasing the density.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {S. V.

  @article{ , abstract = {A targeted experiment at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) confirms the presence of multispecies hydrodynamics in inertial confinement fusion hohlraums relevant to ignition. The effects are identified by filling the gold hohlraum with a deuterium-tritium (DT) gas mixture instead of helium. As the hohlraum is heated by the NIF lasers, it implodes inward, compressing and heating the DT, which leads to fusion. The resulting DT-fusion neutrons are measured in space, time, yield, angle, and energy. A distinct, peaked, triangular shape in the radial neutron emission profile provides evidence of a “leaky piston” effect caused by the interpenetration of DT into the expanding gold. This process reduces the reversibility of DT compression and decreases neutron generation on the temporal trailing edge compared to the leading edge. These results are well described by multispecies hydrodynamics simulations, which reproduce the observed spatial and temporal features, as well as the total neutron yield and angularly resolved energy spectra. In contrast, conventional simulations that use only single-species physics fail to match the experimental data. They overpredict the neutron yield, produce a flatter-than-observed spatial profile, and show excessive emission at late times compared to the experimental measurements.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Drew P.

  @article{ , abstract = {The decay B → ρ ℓ ν ¯ is an attractive process for determining the magnitude of the smallest Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element, | V u b | , and can provide new insights into the origin of the long-standing exclusive-inclusive discrepancy in determinations of this standard-model parameter. This requires a nonperturbative QCD calculation of the B → ρ form factors V , A 0 , A 1 , and A 12 . The unstable nature of the ρ resonance has prevented precise lattice QCD calculations of these form factors to date. Here, we present the first lattice QCD calculation of the B → ρ form factors in which the ρ is treated properly as a resonance in P -wave π π scattering. To this end, we use the Lellouch-Lüscher finite-volume formalism to compute the B → π π form factors as a function of both momentum transfer and π π invariant mass, and then analytically continue to the ρ resonance pole. This calculation is performed with 2 + 1 dynamical quark flavors at a pion mass of approximately 320 MeV, and demonstrates a clear path toward results at the physical point.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Luka Leskovec and Stefan Meinel and Marcus Petschlies and John Negele and Srijit Paul and Andrew Pochinsky}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.161901}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {161901}, shortjournal = {Phys.

• (2025). First double-differential cross section measurement of neutral-current π0 production in neutrino-argon scattering in the MicroBooNE detector. PRL, 134(16), 161802. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {We report the first double-differential cross section measurement of neutral-current neutral pion ( NC π 0 ) production in neutrino-argon scattering, as well as single-differential measurements of the same channel in terms of final states with and without protons. The kinematic variables of interest for these measurements are the π 0 momentum and the π 0 scattering angle with respect to the neutrino beam. A total of 4971 candidate NC π 0 events fully contained within the MicroBooNE detector are selected using data collected at a mean neutrino energy of ∼ 0.8 GeV from 6.4 × 10 20 protons on target from the Booster Neutrino Beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. After extensive data-driven model validation to ensure unbiased unfolding, the Wiener-singular-value-decomposition method is used to extract nominal flux-averaged cross sections. The results are compared to predictions from commonly used neutrino event generators, which tend to overpredict the measured NC π 0 cross section, especially in the 0.2 – 0.5 GeV / c π 0 momentum range and at forward scattering angles. Events with at least one proton present in the final state are also underestimated. This data will help improve the modeling of NC π 0 production, which represents a major background in measurements of charge-parity violation in the neutrino sector and in searches for new physics beyond the standard model.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {MicroBooNE Collaboration and P.

  @article{ , abstract = {The MUonE experiment aims to extract the hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment from a precise measurement of the muon-electron differential scattering cross section. We show that MUonE can also discover thermal relic dark matter using only its nominal experimental setup. Our search strategy is sensitive to models of dark matter in which pairs of pseudo-Dirac fermions are produced in muon-nucleus scattering in the target, and the heavier state decays semivisibly to yield dilepton pairs displaced downstream from the interaction point. This approach can probe sub-GeV thermal-relic dark matter whose cosmological abundance is governed by the same model parameters that set the MUonE signal strength. Furthermore, our results show that the downstream electron calorimeter plays a key role in rejecting backgrounds for this search, thereby providing strong motivation for the MUonE to keep this component in the final experimental design.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Gordan Krnjaic and Duncan Rocha and Isaac R.

We derive this diagonal approximation for the case of two extremal surfaces and show that it accurately computes Rényi entropies up to O ( log G ) corrections.

The seminal quantum teleportation scheme achieves this feat while requiring prior maximal entanglement between the sender and receiver. In scenarios with noisy entangled states, optimal teleportation fidelity characterizes the efficacy of transmitting the state, demanding the proper selection of local operations at the sender’s and receiver’s ends. The complexity escalates further in long-range communication setups, prompting the consideration of a repeater-based approach, which incorporates arrays of nodes with multiple segments to facilitate the efficient transmission of quantum information. The fidelity of the communication line gets degraded even if a single segment is affected by noise. In such cases, the general wisdom employs the standard entanglement swapping protocol involving maximally entangled states across the noiseless segments and applying maximally entangled basis measurement at the corresponding nodes to achieve optimal fidelity. In this Letter, we propose a more efficient protocol for a certain class of noisy states, achieving the same fidelity as the standard protocol while consuming less amount of entanglement.

  @article{ , abstract = {Quantum annealing is a heuristic optimization algorithm that exploits quantum evolution to find low-energy states. Quantum annealers have scaled up in recent years to tackle increasingly larger and more highly connected discrete optimization and quantum simulation problems. Nevertheless, a computational quantum advantage in exact optimization using quantum annealing hardware has so far remained elusive. Here, we present evidence for a quantum annealing scaling advantage in approximate optimization. The advantage is relative to the top classical heuristic algorithm: parallel tempering with isoenergetic cluster moves (PT-ICM). The setting is a family of 2D spin-glass problems with high-precision spin-spin interactions. To achieve this advantage, we implement quantum annealing correction (QAC): an embedding of a bit-flip error-correcting code with energy penalties that leverages the properties of the D-Wave Advantage quantum annealer to yield over 1,300 error-suppressed logical qubits on a degree-5 interaction graph. We generate random spin-glass instances on this graph and benchmark their time-to-epsilon, a generalization of the time-to-solution metric for low-energy states. We demonstrate that, with QAC, quantum annealing exhibits a scaling advantage over PT-ICM at sampling low-energy states with an optimality gap of at least 1.0%.

QMBSs are non-thermal highly excited eigenstates that coexist with typical eigenstates in the spectrum of many-body Hamiltonians, and have since been reported in multiple theoretical models, including the so-called PXP model, approximately realized by Rydberg simulators. At the same time, questions of how common QMBSs are and in what models they are physically realized remain open. In this Letter, we demonstrate that QMBSs exist in a broader family of models that includes and generalizes PXP to longer-range constraints and states with different periodicity. We show that in each model, multiple QMBS families can be found. Each of them relies on a different approximate su ( 2 ) algebra, leading to oscillatory dynamics in all cases. However, in contrast to the PXP model, their observation requires launching dynamics from weakly entangled initial states rather than from a product state.

This agrees in many scenarios with mechanistic models that minimize elastic preference discrepancies between receptors and cell membranes.

Thus, to address multipath interference, the spatial impedance, i.e., the impedance structured in three-dimensional space, must be adjusted in response to the incident angles of multiple signals with the same frequency, which is impossible with classic linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. We present a design concept for metasurface-based spatial filters to overcome LTI behavior and suppress multipath interference signals using a time-varying interlocking mechanism without any active biasing systems. The proposed filters are comprised of metasurface panels and internally coupled circuit elements including MOSFETs, which permit accepting only the first incoming wave, while adjusting the spatial impedance to reject time-delayed waves from different angles.

In wall shear flows, the homogeneous turbulent state is disconnected from the laminar one and disappears in a tipping catastrophe scenario. It, however, linearly destabilizes before tipping, giving rise to laminar-turbulent banded patterns. The subcritical transition to turbulence is thus a promising candidate for investigating the evasion of tipping and its consequences in a well-controlled setting. To do so, we analyze a one-dimensional two-scalar fields advection diffusion reaction model of the transition. We characterize the multistability of the nonlinear solutions emerging from the instability and show that the pattern wavelength is selected by turbulent fluctuations. At lower Reynolds numbers, the pattern follows a cascade of destabilizations toward larger and larger, eventually infinite wavelengths. In that limit, the periodic limit cycle associated with the spatial pattern hits the laminar fixed point, resulting in a saddle loop, also called homoclinic, global bifurcation and the emergence of solitary pulse solutions.

In this Letter, we demonstrate a strong intrinsic longitudinal coupling, a circuit quantum electrodynamics analog of the radiation-pressure interaction, between a transmon qubit and a linear microwave resonator. A red-detuned sideband drive results in an on-demand Jaynes-Cummings interaction with a high on-off ratio. We measure a longitudinal coupling rate an order of magnitude larger than all decay rates, placing the device in the strong coupling regime.

  @article{ , abstract = {The energy-level degeneracies, also known as exceptional points (EPs), are crucial for comprehending emerging phenomena in materials and enabling innovative functionalities for devices. Since EPs were proposed over half a century ago, only two types of EPs have been experimentally discovered, revealing intriguing phases of materials such as Dirac and Weyl semimetals. These discoveries have showcased numerous exotic topological properties and novel applications, such as unidirectional energy transfer. Here, we report the observation of a novel type of EP, named the Dirac EP, utilizing a nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. Two of the eigenvalues are measured to be degenerate at the Dirac EP and remain real in its vicinity. This exotic band topology associated with the Dirac EP enables the preservation of the symmetry when passing through, and makes it possible to achieve adiabatic evolution in non-Hermitian systems. We examined the degeneracy between the two eigenstates by quantum state tomography, confirming that the degenerate point is a Dirac EP rather than a Hermitian degeneracy. Our research of the distinct type of EP contributes a fresh perspective on dynamics in non-Hermitian systems and is potentially valuable for applications in quantum control in non-Hermitian systems and the study of the topological properties of EPs.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Yang Wu and Dongfanghao Zhu and Yunhan Wang and Xing Rong and Jiangfeng Du}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.153601}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {15}, pages = {153601}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Our results demonstrate that the conventional particle-number rate equation accurately describes the dynamics in trapped systems but fails to capture the behavior in homogeneous systems. Notably, under pure p -wave inelastic collisions and zero elastic collisions, we find that systems prepared near or above quantum degeneracy remain in a thermal state, whereas systems initialized deep within degeneracy exhibit nonequilibrium dynamics.

The photodisintegration of nuclei occurs at energies above several PeV, which explains the 1–100 TeV energies of the observed neutrinos. The TeV gamma-ray flux accompanying the beta decays is expected to be much lower than the neutrino flux, which agrees with the observations of NGC 1068 showing a gamma-ray deficit as compared to the expectations from proton-photon interactions. Furthermore, the synchrotron and inverse Compton gamma-ray flux associated with protons’ Bethe-Heitler pair production and the photopion processes in the jet can be consistent with the observed gamma-ray flux at GeV energies for a plausible range of magnetic fields of jets. This scenario, combining beta decay and Bethe-Heitler, can be applied to other jet Seyfert galaxies such as NGC 4151.

Here we propose a new observable for SWSSB in mixed states, called the Rényi-1 correlator, which naturally suggests a route toward scalably detecting certain SWSSB phases in experiment. Specifically, if the canonical purification (CP) of a given mixed state can be reliably prepared, then SWSSB in the mixed state can be detected via ordinary two-point correlation functions in the CP state. We discuss several simple examples of CP states which can be efficiently prepared on quantum devices, and whose reduced density matrices exhibit SWSSB. The Rényi-1 correlator also satisfies several useful theoretical properties: it naturally inherits a stability theorem recently proven for the closely related fidelity correlator, and it directly defines SWSSB as a particular pattern of ordinary spontaneous symmetry breaking in the CP state.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Zack Weinstein}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.150405}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {15}, pages = {150405}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In CA-MPSs, the entanglement from stabilizers is transferred to the Clifford circuits, which can be easily handled according to the Gottesman-Knill theorem. As a result, an MPS needs only to deal with the nonstabilizer entanglement, which largely reduces the bond dimension and the resource required for the accurate simulation of many-body systems. In this Letter, we generalize CA-MPSs to the framework of the time-dependent variational principle (TDVP) for time evolution simulations. In this method, we apply Clifford circuits to the resulting MPS in each TDVP step with a two-site sweeping process similar as in density matrix renormalization groups, aiming at reducing the entanglement entropy in the MPS, and the Hamiltonian is transformed accordingly using the chosen Clifford circuits. Similar as in CA-MPSs, the Clifford circuits does not increase the number of terms in the Hamiltonian, which makes the overhead very small in the new method. We test this method in X X Z chain, 2D Heisenberg model, and Kitaev honeycomb model. The results show that the Clifford circuits augmented TDVP method can reduce the entanglement entropy in the time evolution process and hence makes the simulation reliable for a longer time.

However, for half-integer-spin time reversal symmetry, a straightforward analog leading to the Laguerre symplectic ensemble (LSE) is no longer valid because that time-reversal symmetric state is forbidden by the Kramers’ theorem. We devise a system in which the global time reversal operator is fractionalized on the subsystems, and show that LSE arises in the system.

However, for this scheme to work, the states to be distilled should already contain a large enough fraction of maximally entangled states before these collective operations. Not all entangled quantum states meet this premise.

In this Letter, we present a falsifiability test for any nucleation theory grounded in the capillarity approximation. We focus on cases where the theory predicts no differences in nucleation rates between different crystal polymorphs. We then introduce a system in which all polymorphs have the same free energy (both bulk and interfacial) across all state points. Through extensive molecular simulations, we show that the polymorphs exhibit remarkably different nucleation properties, directly contradicting predictions of CNT.

Here, we extend a recently presented machine learning (ML) approach [Sammüller et al. , Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

By comparing to results from molecular simulations, we show that our approach accurately describes the structure and thermodynamics of prototypical models for electrolyte solutions and ionic liquids, including size-asymmetric and multivalent systems.

The complex reflection time-delay differences ( ) between each port are calculated, and the transmission time-delay differences ( ) are introduced for systems exhibiting nonreciprocal scattering. Large time delays are associated with scattering singularities such as coherent perfect absorption, reflectionless scattering, slow light, and unidirectional invisibility. We demonstrate that the large-delay tails of the distributions of the real and imaginary parts of each time-delay quantity are superuniversal, independent of experimental parameters: wave propagation dimension , number of scattering channels , Dyson symmetry class , and uniform attenuation . The tails determine the abundance of the singularities in generic scattering systems, and the superuniversality is in direct contrast with the well-established time-delay statistics of unitary scattering systems, where the tail of the distribution depends explicitly on the values of and .

The investigation of nuclear spin waves garnered significant interest from theoretical and experimental researchers worldwide during the 1970s and 1980s, but gradually waned in prominence. Recently, it has been reported that the nuclear magnetic resonance in the canted antiferromagnet MnCO 3 produces spin pumping effects similar to the ones studied in ferro- and antiferromagnetic materials, bridging two quite separate worlds, the one of nuclear spin excitations and the other of spintronics. In this Letter, we report the observation of giant nuclear-electronic spin pumping effects driven by radio frequencies in the Heisenberg antiferromagnet RbMnF 3 . In this material, the small values of the electronic magnon frequencies in the vicinity of the antiferromagnetic or spin-flop transition result in an enhanced frequency pulling of the nuclear magnetic resonance frequencies that produces a strong coupling between the nuclear and electronic spin degrees of freedom.

  @article{ , abstract = {In this Letter, we propose a rigorous concept based on the Onsager reciprocal theorem to describe the thermal transport behaviors in superionic crystals. Our results show that thermal energy in superionic crystals can be transferred through the conduction of atomic vibrations, the enthalpy diffusion caused by ions’ diffusion and the thermodiffusion coupling. The thermal conductivity resulting from the heat conduction pathway decreases with temperature as scatterings among vibrations and between vibrations and ions become stronger. However, the thermal conductivity due to enthalpy diffusion increases with temperature, which is because ions diffuse farther at high temperatures. The thermal conductivity owing to the thermodiffusion coupling is negligible since the chemical potential gradient under steady state is small. The apparent thermal conductivity of superionic crystals is therefore determined by the competition between these two thermal pathways, and can exhibit a diverse behavior of negative, weak, and positive temperature dependence as observed in experiments. This Letter unveils the thermal transport mechanisms in superionic crystals, which explains the long-standing and confusing thermal conductivity temperature dependence of superionic crystals.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Wenxiang Liu and Yanguang Zhou}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.146301}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {14}, pages = {146301}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Furthermore, we demonstrate that repeated irradiation at a single probe position leads to the isotropic propagation of delocalized radiolytic damage well beyond the direct footprint of the incident beam.

This effect could not be captured by studies modelling the cathode sheath by itself because its origin is coupled to processes in the interior plasma and anode sheath. By modeling a full plasma diode, we show that depending on conditions the global current can be limited in four ways; by backflow alone, by space charge alone, by both mechanisms in a stable cooperative form, or by both in a competing oscillatory form.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {M. D.

  @article{ , abstract = {We analyze the phases of theories having a microscopic Z N 1-form symmetry, starting with a topological BF theory and deforming it so that only the microscopic symmetry is preserved. These theories have a well-defined notion of confinement, prototypical examples being pure SU ( N ) and Z N gauge theories in the continuum and on the lattice. Our analysis shows that the generic phases are in d = 2 , only the confined phase; in d = 3 , both the confined phase and the topological BF phase; and in d = 4 , the confined phase, the topological BF phase, and a Coulomb phase. We construct a Z N lattice gauge theory with a deformation that, surprisingly, produces up to ( N − 1 ) photons. We give an interpretation of these findings in terms of the behaviors of two competing drivers of confinement—magnetic monopoles and center vortices—and conclude that proliferation of center vortices is necessary but insufficient for confinement, while proliferation of magnetic monopoles is both necessary and sufficient.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Mendel Nguyen and Tin Sulejmanpasic and Mithat Ünsal}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.141902}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {14}, pages = {141902}, shortjournal = {Phys.

As a direct consequence of the linearly polarized quasireal photons emitted off the electron and positron beams, the cos 2 ϕ azimuthal asymmetry in dipion production is predicted within the transverse-momentum-dependent factorization framework. In numerical analysis, we take the helicity amplitudes of γ γ → π π determined from the partial wave solutions in dispersion relation as input, and find that the predicted cos 2 ϕ azimuthal modulation may reach 40% for the typical kinematical setup of Belle 2 and BESIII experiments. Future accurate measurement of this azimuthal asymmetry may facilitate the direct extraction of the relative phase between two helicity amplitudes with photon helicity configurations + + and + − .

For finite values of spin, we compute these structure constants in perturbation theory up to two loops in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. Large values of spin are captured by null polygon kinematics, where we use dualities with null polygon Wilson loops as well as factorization properties to bootstrap the universal behavior of the structure constants at all loops.

• (2025). Transition of anticoncentration in gaussian boson sampling. PRL, 134(14), 140601. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {Gaussian boson sampling is a promising method for experimental demonstrations of quantum advantage because it is easier to implement than other comparable schemes. While most of the properties of Gaussian boson sampling are understood to the same degree as for these other schemes, we understand relatively little about the statistical properties of its output distribution. The most relevant statistical property, from the perspective of demonstrating quantum advantage, is the “anticoncentration” of the output distribution as measured by its second moment. The degree of anticoncentration features in arguments for the complexity-theoretic hardness of Gaussian boson sampling. In this Letter, we develop a graph-theoretic framework for analyzing the moments of the Gaussian boson sampling distribution. Using this framework, we show that Gaussian boson sampling undergoes a transition in anticoncentration as a function of the number of modes that are initially squeezed compared to the number of photons measured at the end of the circuit. When the number of initially squeezed modes scales sufficiently slowly with the number of photons, there is a lack of anticoncentration.

  @article{ , abstract = {Understanding the mixing of open quantum systems is a fundamental problem in physics and quantum information science. Existing approaches for estimating the mixing time often rely on the spectral gap estimation of the Lindbladian generator, which can be challenging to obtain in practice. We propose a novel theoretical framework to estimate the mixing time of open quantum systems that treats the Hamiltonian and dissipative part separately, thus circumventing the need for a priori estimation of the spectral gap of the full Lindbladian generator. This framework yields mixing time estimates for a class of quantum systems that are otherwise hard to analyze, even though it does not apply to arbitrary Lindbladians. The technique is based on the construction of an energy functional inspired by the hypocoercivity of (classical) kinetic theory.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Di Fang and Jianfeng Lu and Yu Tong}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.140405}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {14}, pages = {140405}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In this work, we perform the first numerical investigation of the full ETH in physical many-body systems with local interactions by testing the decomposition of higher-order correlators into thermal free cumulants for local operators. We perform exact diagonalization on two classes of local nonintegrable (chaotic) quantum many-body systems: spin chain Hamiltonians and Floquet brickwork unitary circuits. We show that the dynamics of four-time correlation functions are encoded in fourth-order free cumulants, as predicted by ETH. Their dependence on frequency encodes the physical properties of local many-body systems and distinguishes them from structureless, rotationally invariant ensembles of random matrices.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Silvia Pappalardi and Felix Fritzsch and Tomaž Prosen}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.140404}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {14}, pages = {140404}, shortjournal = {Phys.

This fluctuation theorem bears experimental relevance, as it enables the determination of the free energy difference through the measurement of externally applied work in a nonequilibrium process. In the quantum case, the Jarzynski equality only holds if the measurement procedure of the stochastic work is drastically changed: it is replaced by a so-called two-point measurement scheme that requires the knowledge of the initial and final Hamiltonian and therefore lacks the predictive power for the free energy difference that the classical Jarzynski equation is known for. Here, we propose a quantum fluctuation theorem that is valid for externally measurable quantum work determined during the driving protocol. In contrast to the two-point measurement case, the theorem also applies to open quantum systems and the scenario can be realized without knowing the system Hamiltonian. Our fluctuation theorem comes in the form of an inequality and therefore only yields bounds to the true free energy difference. The inequality is saturated in the quasiclassical case of vanishing energy coherences at the beginning and at the end of the protocol.

Unstable periodic orbits are, however, a negligible part of the phase space, and a question arises regarding the structure of the wave function elsewhere. Here, we address this question and show that a weakly dispersing dynamics of a localized wave packet in phase space leaves a “quantum trail” on the eigenstates, that is, makes them vary slowly when moving along trajectories in phase space, even if not periodic. The quantum trails underpin a remarkable dynamical effect: for a system initialized in a localized wave packet, the long-time phase-space distribution is enhanced along the short-time trajectory, which can result in ergodicity breaking. We provide the general intuition for these effects and prove them in the stadium billiard, for which an unwarping procedure allows us to visualize the phase space on the two-dimensional space of the page.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Andrea Pizzi}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.140402}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {4}, number = {14}, pages = {140402}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In this Letter, we investigate the role of surface curvature on tissue plasticity and cellular migration using a vertex model embedded on a spherical surface. Our findings reveal that increasing curvature promotes the UJT by reducing the energy barriers to cellular rearrangements. Higher curvature favors cell intercalation, mobility, and self-diffusivity, resulting in epithelial structures that are malleable and migratory when small, but become more rigid and stationary as they grow.

Conventionally, the switching dynamics is believed to be determined by the motion of one or a few low-energy domain wall types of dominant population. Here, we challenge this conventional idea in multiple-order-parameter ferroelectrics. Using hafnia as example, we show that the multiple-order-parameter nature not only provides various mobile domain walls and defectlike immobile domain walls, but also enables the domain wall reactions. In analogy with chemical reactions where substances react to form new substances, domain walls could also react to form other domain walls during switching. We identify several elementary domain wall reaction types including synthesis, decomposition, and exchange reactions. Domain walls are continually changed by these reactions during switching so that the switching behavior reflects the statistical average of many domain wall types with distinct mobility and stability. These reactions also lead to phenomenon like remanent nuclei and defect-site nucleation that facilitate switching and lower coercive field. Finally, the concept of domain wall reaction is not limited to hafnia but can be generalized to any multiple-order-parameter ferroelectric.

We apply high resolution backscattering neutron spectroscopy in an applied field to study the magnetic excitations near μ 0 H c . At large fields we observe ferromagnetic fluctuations that gradually transition to being overdamped in energy below μ 0 H c where the magnetism is spatially disordered. We parametrize the excitations in the high-field polarized phase in terms of coupled Zeeman split Kramers doublets originating from the presence of spin-orbit coupling. On reducing the field, the splitting between the Kramers doublets is reduced and if done adiabatically, provides a mechanism for reducing temperature. On lowering the applied field through the μ 0 H c the excitations characterize a textured phase that we suggest is inefficient for cooling. Low temperature disordered frustrated magnets built on Kramers doublets with nearby quantum critical points provide a route for efficient magnetocalorics.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {T. I.

It has attracted tremendous interest because of its promising potential in information storage and processing. However, measuring the distinctive spin-split energy bands arising from altermagnetism remains a challenge. Here, we propose to employ the Coulomb drag to probe altermagnetism. In the Coulomb drag, an electric current in an active layer of electron gases can induce currents in a close but well-isolated passive layer, due to interlayer Coulomb interactions. We find that the Coulomb drag effects in altermagnets are highly sensitive to the orientation of the spin-split Fermi surfaces. As a result, transverse currents can be dragged in the passive layer, leading to Hall drag effects even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling, a feature quite different from all previous systems. More importantly, all the drag effects of altermagnets have unique angle dependence, which can be measured in a multiterminal setup to serve as signatures for altermagnetism.

Here, using a gapped 2D Dirac material as a model system of the OHE, we develop a microscopic theory of orbital transport which captures extrinsic disorder effects nonperturbatively. We show that it predicts several hitherto unknown effects, including (i) a strong dependence of the orbital Hall conductivity with the strength and symmetry of the impurity scattering potential, and (ii) a smooth crossover from intrinsic to extrinsic OHE as a function of the Fermi energy and impurity density. In contrast to previous (perturbative) studies, the OHE is found to exhibit bona fide diffusive behavior in the dilute impurity limit, which we trace back to the dominance of skew scattering–type processes. More generally, we argue that the newly unveiled orbital skew scattering mechanism governs the diffusive OHEs of a large class of 2D materials even when the crystal structure is inversion symmetric. Our work unveils the crucial nature of nonperturbative vertex corrections for a complete description of orbital transport and confirms common short-range impurities as key enablers of the OHE.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Alessandro Veneri and Tatiana G.

According to recent studies, EP sensors operating in the nonlinear regime may avoid these limitations. By analyzing an exemplary nonlinear system, we show that the interplay of noise and nonlinearity introduces previously unidentified obstacles to enhanced sensing. The noise effectively displaces the EP in parameter space and reduces its order, thereby eliminating the sought-for divergence in the signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the noise near the nonlinear EP experiences a stronger divergence than predicted by standard calculations of the Petermann noise factor, due to the properties of the Bogoliubov–de Gennes Hamiltonian governing the fluctuations.

Its transition temperature is high, reaching a few percent of the Fermi temperature scale. Here, we advance a mechanism for superconductivity based on the notion that electronic topology enables quantum fluctuations in a suitable regime of intermediate correlations. In this regime, the Coulomb interaction requires that an active topological flat band and nearby wider bands are considered together. Compact molecular orbitals arise, which give rise to quantum fluctuations through topology-dictated hybridization with the other molecular orbitals. The hybridization competes with the active flat band’s natural tendency toward static electronic ordering, thereby weakening the latter; we link this effect with certain salient observations by experiments. Furthermore, the competition yields a quantum critical regime where quasiparticles are lost. The corresponding quantum critical fluctuations drive superconductivity.

In this Letter, we perform first-principles calculations to study the phonon spectrum and electron-phonon coupling within La 3 Ni 2 O 7 under pressure and explore the interplay between EPC and electronic interactions on the superconductivity by employing functional renormalization group (FRG) approach. Our calculations reveal that EPC alone is insufficient to trigger superconductivity in La 3 Ni 2 O 7 under pressure. We identify unique out-of-plane and in-plane breathing phonon modes which selectively couple with the Ni d z 2 and d x 2 − y 2 orbitals, showcasing an orbital-selective EPC. Within the bilayer two-orbital model, it is revealed that solely electronic interactions foster s ± -wave pairing characterized by notable frustration in the band space, leading to a relatively low transition temperature. Remarkably, we find that the out-of-plane EPC can act in concert with electronic interactions to promote the interlayer pairing in the d z 2 orbital, partially releasing the pairing frustration and thus elevating T c . In contrast, the inclusion of in-plane EPC only marginally affects the superconductivity, distinct from the cuprates.

In this Letter, the surfaces of such a confined sample are covered with a superfluid He 4 film to create specular quasiparticle scattering boundary conditions, preventing the suppression of the superfluid order parameter. We show that the chiral A phase is the stable superfluid phase under strong confinement over the full P − T phase diagram down to a quasi-two-dimensional limit D / ξ 0 = 1 , where D = 80 nm . The planar phase, which is degenerate with the chiral A phase in the weak-coupling limit, is not observed. The gap inferred from measurements over the wide pressure range from 0.2 to 21.0 bar leads to an empirical ansatz for temperature-dependent strong-coupling effects. We discuss how these results pave the way for the realization of the fully gapped two-dimensional p x + i p y superfluid under more extreme confinement.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Petri J.

  @article{ , abstract = {The standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI) with a magnetic field component parallel to the rotation axis is widely believed to be responsible for the fast accretion in astronomical disks. In conventional base flows with a Keplerian profile or an ideal Couette profile, most studies focus on axisymmetric SMRI, since excitation of nonaxisymmetric SMRI in such flows requires a magnetic Reynolds number (Rm) more than an order of magnitude larger. Here, we report that, in a magnetized Taylor-Couette flow, nonaxisymmetric SMRI with an azimuthal mode number m = 1 can be triggered by a free-shear layer in the base flow at Rm ≳ 1 , the same threshold as for axisymmetric SMRI. Global linear analysis reveals that the free-shear layer reduces the required Rm, possibly by introducing an extremum in the vorticity of the base flow. Nonlinear simulations validate the results from linear analysis and confirm that a novel instability recently discovered experimentally [Wang et al. , Nat. Commun. 13 , 4679 (2022) ] is the nonaxisymmetric m = 1 SMRI.

The AI is shown to be compatible with coherent operation of an array of optical clock qubits. By incorporating AI pulses into a stroboscopic Rydberg dressing (SRD) sequence, we enhance lifetimes by an order of magnitude for system sizes of up to 144 atoms, while maintaining an order of magnitude larger duty cycle than previously achieved. To highlight the utility of our approach, we use the AI-enhanced SRD protocol to improve the degree of achieved spin-squeezing during early time dressing dynamics.

Unlike previous examples, quantum advantage persists away from the exactly solvable point and is robust to arbitrary local perturbations, irrespective of system size. We demonstrate this robustness experimentally on Quantinuum’s H1-1 quantum computer by playing the game with a continuous family of randomly deformed toric code states that can be created with constant-depth circuits leveraging midcircuit measurements and unitary feedback. We are thus able to tune through a topological phase transition—witnessed by the loss of robust quantum advantage—on currently available quantum hardware. This behavior is contrasted with an analogous family of deformed Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, for which arbitrarily weak local perturbations destroy quantum advantage in the thermodynamic limit.

Our results show that microscopic mechanical homogeneity, a widely applicable concept, can give rise to ultrastability.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Fabio Leoni and John Russo and Francesco Sciortino and Taiki Yanagishima}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.128201}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {128201}, shortjournal = {Phys.

The absence of charge conduction in BiYIG and the negligible spin-to-charge conversion of oxidized Cu allows us to disambiguate the orbital current contribution. Comparative measurements on YIG and BiYIG show that the origin of the orbital pumping in BiYIG/oxidized Cu is the dynamics of the orbital magnetization in the magnetic insulator.

We show that discerning whether the AHE is an intrinsic property of the field-free system becomes intricate in the presence of strong magnetic fluctuations. As a study case, we use the Weyl semimetal PrAlGe, where TRSB can be toggled via a ferromagnetic transition, providing a transparent view of the AHE’s topological origin.

Here, we demonstrate a framework for predicting a material’s local Chern markers using its position-space description and validate it against experimental observations of quantum transport in artificial graphene in a semiconductor heterostructure, inherently accounting for fabrication disorder strong enough to close the bulk spectral gap. By resolving local changes in the system’s topology, we reveal the topological origins of antidot-localized states that appear in artificial graphene in the presence of a magnetic field. Moreover, we show the breadth of this framework by simulating how Hofstadter’s butterfly emerges from an initially unpatterned 2D electron gas as the system’s potential strength is increased and predict that artificial graphene becomes a topological insulator at the critical magnetic field.

  @article{ , abstract = {The coherent interaction between free electrons and optical fields can produce free-electron compression and push the temporal resolution of ultrafast electron microscopy to the attosecond regime. However, a large electron-light interaction is required to attain a strong compression, generally necessitating short light and electron pulses combined with optical scattering at nanostructures. Here, we theoretically investigate an alternative configuration based on stimulated Compton scattering, whereby two counterpropagating Gaussian light beams induce energy jumps in a collinear electron beam by multiples of their photon-energy difference. Strong recoil effects are produced by extending the electron-light interaction over millimetric distances, enabling a dramatic increase in temporal compression and substantially reshaping the electron spectra for affordable laser powers. Beyond its fundamental interest, our Letter introduces a practical scheme to achieve a large temporal compression of continuous electron beams without involving optical scattering by material structures.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Cruz I.

This effect depends strongly on the nonlinear coupling strength, controlled by the optical pump power, revealing its inherently nonlinear nature. Furthermore, this phenomenon is marked by decaying Rabi oscillations between the idler and signal fields, linked to the disorder properties, suggesting an accompanied longitudinal decoherence effect.

Our stability analysis and simulations reveal that the strong mode-coupling regime, which gives rise to spectrally broad comb states, can lead to an instability mechanism in the auxiliary resonator that destabilizes the comb state and prevents mode locking.

  @article{ , abstract = {Long-range interactions are a key resource in many quantum phenomena and technologies. Free-space photons mediate power-law interactions but lack tunability and suffer from decoherence processes due to their omnidirectional emission. Engineered dielectrics can yield tunable and coherent interactions, but typically at the expense of making them both shorter ranged and sensitive to material disorder and photon loss. Here, we propose a platform that can circumvent all these limitations based on three-dimensional subwavelength atomic arrays subjected to magnetic fields. Our key result is to show how to design the polaritonic bands of these atomic metamaterials to feature a pair of frequency-isolated Weyl points, i.e., points in reciprocal space around which the bands disperse linearly and defining monopoles of the Berry curvature. As predicted by recent works, such Weyl excitations can mediate interactions that are simultaneously long range, due to their gapless nature; robust, due to the topological protection of Weyl points; and decoherence-free, due to their subradiant character. We demonstrate the robustness of these isolated Weyl points for a large regime of interatomic distances and magnetic field values and characterize the emergence of their corresponding Fermi arcs surface states. The latter can lead to two-dimensional, nonreciprocal atomic interactions with no analogue in other chiral quantum optical setups.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Iñaki García-Elcano and Paloma A.

In this Letter, we study time evolution of interacting bosons in a finite one-dimensional superlattice and uncover surprising emergent topological phenomena in the long-time stationary states. Beginning with simple product states, the system evolves into stationary states with high energy whose string correlation and entanglement are investigated. Based on extensive numerical simulations and effective-model analysis, it is demonstrated that the stationary states are nonthermal for a wide range of parameters, and they exhibit certain features that are characteristic of the symmetry-protected topological ground state of the Hamiltonian. In contrast, no topological feature is found in the stationary state as long as the system thermalizes. This difference is further corroborated by the distinct behavior of quantum entanglement and edge states of the system.

• (2025). Search for dark matter produced in association with a dark higgs boson in the bb¯ final state using pp collisions at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector. PRL, 134(12), 121801. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {A search is performed for dark matter particles produced in association with a resonantly produced pair of b -quarks with 30 < m b b < 150 GeV using 140 fb − 1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. This signature is expected in extensions of the standard model predicting the production of dark matter particles, in particular those containing a dark Higgs boson s that decays into b b ¯ . The highly boosted s → b b ¯ topology is reconstructed using jet reclustering and a new identification algorithm. This search places stringent constraints across regions of the dark Higgs model parameter space that satisfy the observed relic density, excluding dark Higgs bosons with masses between 30 and 150 GeV in benchmark scenarios with Z ′ mediator masses up to 4.8 TeV at 95% confidence level.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {ATLAS Collaboration and G.

Even less is known about the relevant boundary deformations that connect them. A natural approach to the problem is via conformal perturbation theory, which, however, becomes quickly intractable. Using the formalism of open string field theory, we construct the corresponding classical solution, from which we can easily extract the boundary theory data. As a simple illustration we calculate the boundary degeneracy g to next-to-leading order for a generic theory.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jaroslav Scheinpflug and Martin Schnabl}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.121601}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {121601}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Utilizing the covariant phase space formalism, we identify the relevant degrees of freedom that localize to the -dimensional bifurcate horizon and, upon canonical quantization, determine their commutators. On this phase space, we find two Iyer-Wald charges. The first of these charges, proportional to the area of the causal diamond, is responsible for shifting the null time along the horizon and has been well documented in the literature. The second charge is much less understood, being integrable for only if we allow for field-dependent diffeomorphisms and is responsible for changing the size of the causal diamond.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Mathew W.

• (2025). Which is which? identification of the two compact objects in gravitational-wave binaries. PRL, 134(12), 121402. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {Compact objects observed in gravitational-wave astronomy so far always come in pairs and never individually. Identifying the two components of a binary system is a delicate operation that is often taken for granted. The labeling procedure (i.e., which is object “1” and which is object “2”) effectively acts as systematics, or, equivalently, an unspecified prior, in gravitational-wave data inference. The common approach is to label the objects solely by their masses, on a sample-by-sample basis. We show that object identification can instead be tackled using the posterior distribution as a whole. We frame the problem in terms of constrained clustering—a flavor of semisupervised machine learning—and find that unfolding the labeling systematics can significantly impact, and arguably improve, our interpretation of the data.

As a result, off-diagonal elements of the density matrix of the system are damped in the basis of a preferred observable, often taken to be the position, leading to the phenomenon of decoherence. This effect can be modeled dynamically in terms of a Lindblad equation driven by the position operator. Here the question of decoherence resulting from a monitoring of position and momentum, i.e., a phase-space measurement, by the environment is addressed. There is no standard quantum observable corresponding to the detection of phase-space points, which is forbidden by Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. This issue is addressed by use of a coherent-state-based positive operator-valued measure for modeling phase-space monitoring by the environment. In this scheme, decoherence in phase space implies the diagonalization of the density matrix in both position and momentum representations. This is shown to be linked to a Lindblad equation where position and momentum appear as two independent Lindblad operators.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Dorje C.

At ultralow ionic strength and packing fractions, we reveal both experimentally and numerically a direct transition from a nematic to a crystalline smectic-B phase, previously identified as a glass state. This transition, bypassing the smectic-A intermediate phase, results from minimizing Coulomb repulsion and maximizing entropic gains due to fluctuations in the crystalline structure.

Here, we address these questions by introducing a nonreciprocal generalization of the Ising model and study its phase transitions by means of numerical and analytical approaches. While the mean-field equations predict three stable homogeneous phases (disordered, ordered, and a time-dependent swap phase), our large scale numerical simulations reveal a more complex picture. Static order is destroyed in any finite dimension due to the growth of rare droplets unless the symmetry between the two spin types is broken, triggering a stabilizing droplet-capture mechanism.

In this Letter, we observe both linear and nonlinear localization of light at the edges of radially cropped quasicrystal waveguide arrays, forming an aperiodic Penrose tiling. Our theoretical analysis reveals that for certain truncation radii, the system exhibits linear eigenstates localized at the edge of the truncated array, whereas for other radii, this localization does not occur, highlighting the significant influence of truncation on edge light localization. Using single-waveguide excitations, we experimentally confirm the presence of localized states in Penrose arrays inscribed by a femtosecond laser and investigate the effects of nonlinearity on these states.

• (2025). Extreme softening of QCD phase transition under weak acceleration: First-principles monte carlo results for gluon plasma. PRL, 134(11), 111904. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {We study the properties of gluon plasma subjected to a weak acceleration using first-principles numerical Monte Carlo simulations. We use the Luttinger (Tolman-Ehrenfest) correspondence between temperature gradient and gravitational field to impose acceleration in imaginary time formalism. Under acceleration, the system resides in global thermal equilibrium. Our results indicate that even the weakest acceleration up to drastically softens the deconfinement phase transition, converting the first-order phase transition of a static system to a soft crossover for accelerating gluons. The accelerating environment can be relevant to the first moments of the early Universe and the initial glasma regime of relativistic heavy ion collisions. In particular, our results imply that the acceleration, if present, may also inhibit the detection of the thermodynamic phase transition from quark-gluon plasma to the hadronic phase.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {M. N.

  @article{ , abstract = {Nuclear medium effects on B + meson production are studied using the binary-collision scaled cross section ratio between events of different charged-particle multiplicities from proton-lead collisions. Data, collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of s NN = 8.16 TeV , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 175 nb − 1 , were used. The scaling factors in the ratio are determined using a novel approach based on the Z → μ − μ + cross sections measured in the same events. The scaled ratio for B + is consistent with unity for all event multiplicities, putting stringent constraints on nuclear modification for heavy flavor.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {CMS Collaboration and A.

  @article{ , abstract = {Recently, it was discovered that the proton structure at high energies exhibits maximal entanglement. This leads to a simple relation between the proton’s parton distributions and the entropy of hadrons produced in high-energy inelastic interactions, which has been experimentally confirmed. In this Letter, we extend this approach to the production of jets. Here, the maximal entanglement predicts a relation between the jet fragmentation function and the entropy of hadrons produced in jet fragmentation. We test this relation using the ATLAS Collaboration data on jet production at the Large Hadron Collider, and find a good agreement between the prediction based on maximal entanglement within the jet and the data. This study represents the first use of a quantum entanglement framework in an experimental study of the hadronization process, offering a new perspective on the transition from perturbative to nonperturbative QCD. Our results open the door to a more comprehensive understanding of the quantum nature of hadronization.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jaydeep Datta and Abhay Deshpande and Dmitri E.

The calculation proceeds by first computing the finite-volume energy spectrum of the two-hadron systems and then determining the amplitudes from the energies using the Lüscher formalism.

  @article{ , abstract = {Invisible axion models that solve the strong problem via the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) mechanism typically have a quality problem that arises from quantum gravity effects which violate all global symmetries. These models therefore require extreme fine-tuning of parameters for consistency. We present a new solution to the quality problem in a unified gauge model, where is an anomaly free axial gauge symmetry. PQ symmetry emerges as an accidental symmetry in this setup, which admits a PQ breaking scale as large as , allowing for the axion to be the cosmological dark matter. We call this a hybrid axion model due to its unique feature that it interpolates between the popular KSVZ and DFSZ axion models. Its predictions for the experimentally measurable axion couplings to the nucleon and electron are distinct from those of the usual models, a feature that can be used to test it. Furthermore, the model has no domain wall problem and it provides a realistic and predictive framework for fermion masses and mixings.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {K. S.

  @article{ , abstract = {Efficiently estimating the quantum Fisher information (QFI) is pivotal in quantum information science but remains an outstanding challenge for large systems due to its high nonlinearity. In this Letter, we tackle this long-standing challenge by integrating the Krylov subspace method–a celebrated tool from applied mathematics–into the framework of shadow tomography. The integrated technique, dubbed Krylov shadow tomography, enables us to formulate a strict hierarchy of nonpolynomial lower bounds on the QFI, among which the highest one matches the QFI exactly. We show that all the bounds can be expressed as expected values of the inverses of Hankel matrices, which are accessible via shadow tomography. Our Krylov shadow tomography therefore opens up a resource-efficient and experimentally feasible avenue to estimate not only nonpolynomial lower bounds but also the QFI itself.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Da-Jian Zhang and D. M.

  @article{ , abstract = {A quantum limit on the measurement of magnetic fields has been recently pointed out, stating that the so-called energy resolution E R is bounded to E R ≳ ℏ . This limit indeed holds true for the vast majority of existing quantum magnetometers, including superconducting quantum interference devices and solid state spin and optically pumped atomic magnetometers. However, it can be surpassed by highly correlated spin systems, as recently demonstrated with a single-domain spinor BEC. Here, we show that similar and potentially much better resolution can be achieved with a hard ferromagnet levitated above a superconductor at cryogenic temperature. We demonstrate E R = ( 0.064 ± 0.010 ) ℏ and anticipate that E R < 10 − 3 ℏ is within reach with near-future improvements. This finding opens the way to new applications in condensed matter, biophysics, and fundamental science.

Under uniform lighting conditions, E. gracilis exhibits stochastic movements with nearly straight runs interrupted by abrupt directional changes. The lengths of these runs follow a long-tailed distribution typical of a Lévy walk, with scaling exponents that vary with light intensity. In gradient lighting conditions, the cells modulate their run durations—extending them upon detecting an increase in light intensity and shortening them when a decrease is detected. This adjustment effectively biases the Lévy walk, enabling the cells to ascend the spatial light gradient. This behavior mirrors well-known prokaryotic stochastic navigation strategies, such as bacterial chemotaxis, offering a eukaryotic parallel.

  @article{ , abstract = {The class of two-dimensional carbides and nitrides known as MXenes exhibit remarkable electronic properties. Tailoring these properties, however, requires an in-depth understanding of the band structure and Fermi-surface topology. Surface oxidation of MXenes has previously hampered the characterization of their Fermi surface, which is crucial for understanding the topology and anisotropy in the electronic structure and, ultimately, for tailoring electronic properties. Here, we reveal the Fermi surface topology and band structure of purely oxygen-terminated Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene achieved through rigorous thin film sample preparation and ultrahigh vacuum annealing. Polarized synchrotron radiation-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy reveals electron pockets, bulk band gaps, and a Dirac-like feature in the anisotropic electronic band structure. This paves the way for a fundamental understanding of band engineering of electronic transport properties, providing insights of importance for energy storage devices, transparent conductors, and catalysis.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Martin Magnuson and Per Eklund and Craig Polley}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.106201}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {106201}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {The spontaneous periodic oscillations of underwater bubbles are typically confined to a 1D direction or within a 2D plane, whereas realizing 3D autonomous motion of bubbles remains challenging. In this Letter, we present experimental observations of a 3D-periodic orbiting bubble, produced by directing a stationary near-infrared laser at hexane, thereby extending the spectrum of multimode motions beyond the 1D and 2D paradigms. Through numerical simulation by carefully investigating both the thermodynamic and hydrodynamic parameters of several liquids, this 3D-orbiting mode is attributed to the subtle interplay between the interfacial flow due to the thermal Marangoni effect and the bulk flow from the thermal buoyancy effect. Moreover, by developing a unified physical model to elucidate the effect of liquid properties on the motion modes, a phase diagram is constructed through a single dimensionless number ( Σ = R e S c / M a ), providing a theoretical guidance to tailor the periodic oscillation modes. These findings not only reveal the underlying intriguing physicochemical hydrodynamics, but also possibly shed light on the bubble-mediated technologies.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Man Hu and Feng Wang and Yuqi Li and Li Chen and Wenna Wu and Peng Huo and Daosheng Deng}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.104004}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {104004}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {The dynamics of drop impact on a rigid surface strongly depends on the droplet’s velocity, its size, and its material properties. The main characteristics are the droplet’s force exerted on the surface and its maximal spreading radius. The crucial question is how do they depend on the (dimensionless) control parameters, which are the Weber number W e (nondimensionalized kinetic energy) and the Ohnesorge number O h (dimensionless viscosity). Here, we perform direct numerical simulations over the huge parameter range 1 ≤ W e ≤ 10 3 and 10 − 3 ≤ O h ≤ 10 2 and in particular develop a unifying theoretical approach, which is inspired by the Grossmann-Lohse theory for wall-bounded turbulence [Grossmann and Lohse, J. Fluid Mech. 407 , 27 (2000) ; Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 , 3316 (2001) ]. The key idea is to split the energy dissipation rate into the different phases of the impact process, in which different physical mechanisms dominate. The theory can consistently and quantitatively account for the W e and O h dependences of the maximal impact force and the maximal spreading diameter over the huge parameter space. It also clarifies why viscous dissipation plays a significant role during impact, even for low-viscosity droplets (low O h ), in contrast to what had been assumed in some prior theories.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Vatsal Sanjay and Detlef Lohse}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.104003}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {104003}, shortjournal = {Phys.

However, it remains challenging to directly modify the coefficient of self-phase modulation, which is typically regarded as a fixed property of optical materials and structures. In this work, we overcome this limitation and demonstrate reconfigurable self-phase modulation with an integrated photonic cavity. This is achieved by introducing the engineered backaction from the reservoir photonic resonance through the cascaded second-order nonlinear coupling. The coefficient of self-phase modulation is tuned from to of its intrinsic value. With negative coefficients, we observe the anomalous self-phase modulation, where photonic resonances are shifted towards higher frequencies.

In optical implementations, the former demonstrate strong enhancement of the electromagnetic field, while the latter exhibit high sensitivity to small perturbations. Hence, exceptional points are being actively investigated as next-generation optical sensors. However, at the nanoscale, their performance is strongly constrained by parasitic radiative losses. Here, we show that several bound states in the continuum can be merged into one exceptional point, forming a new kind of singularity. The resulting state inherits properties from both, namely, it does not radiate and shows extremely high sensitivity to perturbations, making it prospective for the realization of exceptional sensing at the nanoscale.

  @article{ , abstract = {A study of and decays to ( ) is performed using collision data collected by the LHCb experiment during LHC Runs 1–2, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . The branching fractions for these decays are measured using the decay as a control channel. The decays and are observed for the first time. For decay modes with sufficient signal yields, asymmetries are measured in the full and localized regions of the final-state phase space. Evidence is found for violation in the decay, interpreted as originating primarily from an asymmetric decay amplitude. The measured asymmetries for other decays are compatible with zero.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {LHCb Collaboration and R. Aaij and A. S. W. Abdelmotteleb and C. Abellan Beteta and F.

Using a statistical mechanics-based equation of state to obtain nonbonded segmental interaction energies, the CSD model predicts the SAP’s activation energies a priori , based solely on thermodynamic analysis of material properties. The other parameters are all shown to be reasonably material-independent, which means that the model is able to predict SAP relaxation rates and SAP-driven equilibration rates (e.g., adsorption) without using any data on the SAP at all.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Ronald P.

These flows on the surface of colloids introduce an effective slip velocity, driving their diffusiophoretic migration. In confined environments, the interplay between diffusiophoresis and diffusioosmosis governs the motion of colloids. Previous studies have indeed demonstrated the quantitative modulation of phoretic migration by the osmotic flows. Here, we show that diffusioosmotic flows can lead to qualitatively distinct outcomes, reversing the direction of colloidal focusing expected from diffusiophoresis alone. Using microfluidic experiments in a T-junction, numerical simulations, and theoretical modeling, we explain our observations to be due to an interplay between diffusiophoretic migration of colloids toward the walls and their entrainment in a diffusioosmotic vortex. We show this focusing to be persistent for a range of salt types, salt gradients, and flow rates, and establish a criterion for its emergence.

However, continuous “deconfined quantum critical” transitions between Landau-incompatible symmetry-breaking phases are known to exist in certain quantum systems, often with anomalous microscopic symmetries. In this Letter, we investigate the need for such special conditions. We show that Landau-incompatible transitions can be found in a family of well-known classical statistical mechanical models with anomaly-free symmetries, introduced by José et al. [ Phys. Rev.

For a range of temperatures, even Q models exhibit two Landau-incompatible partial symmetry-breaking phases and a direct transition between them for Q ≥ 4 . Characteristic features of deconfined quantum criticality, such as enhanced symmetries and melting of charged defects, are easily seen in a classical setting. For odd Q and corresponding temperature ranges, two regions of a single partial symmetry-breaking phase appear, split by a stable “unnecessary critical” line.

This is reflected in the unconventional Zeeman splitting between bands of opposite spins, which emerges in the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and displays nodes along high-symmetry directions. Here, we argue that even for a small SOC, the direction of the magnetic moments in the altermagnetic state has a profound impact on the electronic spectrum, enabling novel topological phenomena to appear. By investigating microscopic models for two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) altermagnets, motivated in part by rutile materials, we demonstrate the emergence of hitherto unexplored Dirac crossings between bands of the same spin but opposite sublattices. The direction of the moments determines the fate of these crossings when the SOC is turned on. We focus on the case of out-of-plane moments, which forbid an anomalous Hall effect and thus ensure that no weak magnetization is triggered in the altermagnetic state. In the 2D model, the SOC gaps out the Dirac crossings, resulting in mirror Chern bands that enable the Quantum Spin Hall Effect and undergo a topological transition to trivial bands upon increasing the magnitude of the magnetic moment. On the other hand, in the 3D model the crossings persist even in the presence of SOC, forming Weyl nodal loops protected by mirror symmetry.

Unlike fermions, the effective anyon potential depends on the type of the tunneling quasiparticles; nonequilibrium anyonic states are underlain by power-law energy distributions. This allows “hot” anyons to tunnel above the chemical potential of the source, which we capture by a measurable universal witness function.

Vivid green light flashes have been observed from a red-emitting polymer junction under a large reverse bias.

Moreover, the green flashes can be strongly distorted by a permanent magnet placed nearby, generating a light show resembling an aurora.

By applying a known transverse magnetic field to bend the flashes into circular arcs, a charge to mass ratio is determined for the charged particles.

The structure of the quantum kinetic theory in the diffusive regime is determined by a set of fundamental constraints—charge conjugation symmetry, the causality principle, and the crystal symmetry of a material. These symmetries uniquely fix the action of the Keldysh nonlinear model (NLSM), which at the saddle point yields the quantum kinetic Usadel-type equation, the equation that describes the main transport features of a system. Our phenomenological approach is reminiscent of the Ginzburg-Landau theory but is valid for superconductors in the whole temperature range, describes the diffusive transport in the normal state, and naturally captures the effects of superconducting fluctuations. As an application, we derive the NLSM and the corresponding quantum transport equations, which include all effects of spin-orbit coupling, allowed by the crystal symmetry, for example, the spin Hall, spin current swapping, or spin-galvanic effects.

Leveraging the driven-dissipative nature of the system, we modulate in space and time the on-site Kerr interaction energies, and generate -dimensional topological bands in the Bogoliubov spectrum of excitations. These bands present the same topology as the ones obtained within the Harper-Hofstadter framework, and the Wannier states associated to each band experience a net displacement and show quantized transport according to the band Chern numbers.

Here we show that while photoionization of rare gases does not provide large spin polarization in the vicinity of the Cooper minimum, the Fano resonances yield much higher overall spin polarization ( ≥ 40 % ) . The spin polarization increases in angle-resolved photoelectron spectra, and reaches 100% when measured in coincidence with the photoion. A common feature of both Cooper minima and Fano resonances, is the large variation of the photoinization cross section over photon energy, which proves to be vital for efficient generation of spin-polarized electrons.

To tune and uniquely distinguish the mass-energy equivalence effects (gravitational redshift and second-order Doppler shift) in such a setting, we devise a dressing protocol using an additional nuclear spin state. We then analyze the dynamical interplay between photon-mediated interactions and gravitational redshift and show that such interplay can lead to entanglement generation and frequency synchronization dynamics. In the regime where all atomic spins synchronize, we show the synchronization time depends on the initial entanglement of the state and can be used as a proxy of its metrological gain compared to a classical state.

The experimental confirmation is enabled by a unique mass-spectroscopy setup, allowing for fluorescence observation near or at the 0-0 transition without inducing heat in the ions upon photon absorption. The low-temperature conditions effectively simulate the restricted motion experienced within the protein, inhibiting internal conversion via a conical intersection along a twist motion coordinate.

As a first application, we reanalyze the publicly available one-dimensional Lyman-alpha flux power spectrum data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our analysis relies on informative priors on EFT parameters that we extract from a combination of public hydrodynamic simulation and emulator data. Assuming the concordance cosmological model, our one-parameter analysis yields a 2% measurement of the late time mass fluctuation amplitude σ 8 = 0.841 ± 0.017 , or equivalently, the structure growth parameter S 8 = 0.852 ± 0.017 , consistent with the standard cosmology. This result is obtained assuming that nonlinear EFT parameters are cosmology-independent functions of the linear bias parameter. When this assumption is loosened, the limit degrades by a factor of 3, suggesting that informative priors are necessary for competitive constraints. Combining our EFT likelihood with Planck + baryon acoustic oscillation data, we find a new constraint on the total neutrino mass, ∑ m ν < 0.08 eV (at 95% CL).

In order to trust the accuracy of shadow estimation in practice, it is crucial to understand the behavior of the estimators under realistic noise. In this Letter, we prove that any shadow estimation protocol involving Clifford unitaries is stable under gate-dependent noise for observables with bounded stabilizer norm —originally introduced in the context of simulating Clifford circuits. In contrast, we demonstrate with concrete examples that estimation of “magic” observables can lead to highly misleading results in the presence of miscalibration errors and a worst case bias scaling exponentially in the system size. We further find that so-called robust shadows , aiming at mitigating noise, can introduce a large bias in the presence of gate-dependent noise compared to unmitigated classical shadows. Nevertheless, we guarantee the functioning of robust shadows for a more general noise setting than in previous works. On a technical level, we identify average noise channels that affect shadow estimators and allow for a more fine-grained control of noise-induced biases.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Raphael Brieger and Markus Heinrich and Ingo Roth and Martin Kliesch}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.090801}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {3}, number = {9}, pages = {090801}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {We propose a Clifford noise reduction (CliNR) scheme that provides a reduction of the logical error rate of Clifford circuit with lower overhead than error correction and without the exponential sampling overhead of error mitigation. CliNR implements Clifford circuits by splitting them into subcircuits that are performed using gate teleportation. A few random stabilizer measurements are used to detect errors in the resources states consumed by the gate teleportation. This can be seen as a teleported version of the coherent parity-check scheme [1–3], with offline fault-detection making it scalable.

Moreover, CliNR uses only 3 n + 1 qubits, 2 s + o ( s ) gates and has zero rejection rate.

However, CIMs also face challenges in solving frustrated Ising models: frustration not only reduces the probability of finding good solutions, but it also prohibits the leveraging of quantum effects in doing so. To circumvent these detrimental effects of frustration, we show how frustrated Ising models can be mapped to frustration-free CIM configurations by including ancillary modes and modifying the coupling protocol used in current CIM designs.

This makes it computationally intractable to gain a precise quantitative understanding of the ultimate efficiency of key operational tasks such as entanglement manipulation. Here, we consider the problem of computing the asymptotic entanglement cost of preparing noisy quantum states under quantum operations with positive partial transpose (PPT). By means of an analytical example, a previously claimed solution to this problem is shown to be incorrect. Building on a previous characterization of the PPT entanglement cost in terms of a regularized formula, we construct instead a hierarchy of semidefinite programs that bypasses the issue of regularization altogether, and converges to the true asymptotic value of the entanglement cost. Our main result establishes that this convergence happens exponentially fast, thus yielding an efficient algorithm that approximates the cost up to an additive error ϵ in time poly ( D , log ( 1 / ϵ ) ) , where D is the underlying Hilbert space dimension.

We examine two typical classes of Bell inequalities with multiple input and multiple output, the facet inequalities and Salavrakos-Augusiak-Tura-Wittek-Acín-Pironio inequalities, in the high-dimensional photonic system, and observe that the violation of the latter one can always certify randomness which is not true for the former.

  @article{ , abstract = {Simulated cooling is a robust method for preparing low-energy states of many-body Hamiltonians on near-term quantum simulators. In such schemes, a subset of the simulator’s spins (or qubits) are treated as a “bath” that extracts energy and entropy from the system of interest. However, such protocols are inefficient when applied to systems whose excitations are highly nonlocal in terms of the microscopic degrees of freedom, such as topological phases of matter; such excitations are difficult to extract by a local coupling to a bath. We explore a route to overcome this obstacle by encoding the microscopic degrees of freedom into those of the quantum simulator in a nonlocal manner. To illustrate the approach, we show how to efficiently cool the ferromagnetic phase of the quantum Ising model, whose excitations are domain walls, via a “gauged cooling” protocol in which the Ising spins are coupled to a gauge field that simultaneously acts as a reservoir for removing excitations. We show that our protocol can prepare the ground states of the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases equally efficiently. The gauged cooling protocol naturally extends to (interacting) fermionic systems, where it is equivalent to cooling by coupling to a fermionic bath via single-fermion hopping.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Gilad Kishony and Mark S.

With the addition of a tiny amount of long-chain polymers, we find, surprisingly, that the large-scale flow structure possesses axisymmetric topologies, rather than the well-known single-roll large-scale circulation (LSC), itself a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking. This symmetry restoration is found to arise from anisotropic suppression of velocity fluctuations, i.e., horizontal rms velocity becomes much less than the vertical one, as compared to the nearly isotropic bulk turbulence in the Newtonian case. This mechanism of symmetry restoration resulting from reduced fluctuations contrasts sharply with known symmetry restorations occurring in nature that usually result from increased thermal fluctuations. We further find that the net energy transfer between mean flow and turbulent fluctuations vanishes for axisymmetric topologies, whereas there is a positive net energy transfer from mean flow to turbulence for the lower-symmetry LSC topology (with or without polymers). A comparison of measured heat transfer efficiency and the large-scale flow topology points to a possible explanation for the original spontaneous symmetry breaking, in that the lower-symmetry LSC provides a higher transport efficiency.

  @article{ , abstract = {We report on the imaging of the in situ spatial distribution of deterministically prepared single-atom wave packets as they expand in a plane, finding excellent agreement with the scaling dynamics predicted by the Schrödinger equation. Our measurement provides a direct and quantitative observation of the textbook free expansion of a one-particle Gaussian wave packet, which we believe has no equivalent in the existing literature. Second, we utilize these expanding wave packets as a benchmark to develop a protocol for the controlled projection of a spatially extended wave function from continuous space onto the sites of a deep optical lattice and subsequent single-atom imaging using quantum gas microscopy techniques. By probing the square modulus of the wave function for various lattice ramp-up times, we show how to obtain a near-perfect projection onto lattice sites. Establishing this protocol represents a crucial prerequisite to the realization of a quantum gas microscope for continuum physics. The method demonstrated here for imaging a wave packet whose initial extent greatly exceeds the pinning lattice spacing, is designed to be applicable to the many-body wave function of interacting systems in continuous space, promising a direct access to their microscopic properties, including spatial correlation functions up to high order and large distances.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Joris Verstraten and Kunlun Dai and Maxime Dixmerias and Bruno Peaudecerf and Tim de Jongh and Tarik Yefsah}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.083403}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {083403}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Furthermore, the velocity increments show a clear fat-tail non-Gaussian distribution that results from intermittency corrections to the initial “K41” Kolmogorov theory.

Building on previous theoretical work, we investigate the LEE and its relation to the scissors mode (SM) with an independent theoretical approach. We apply a novel angular-momentum-projected shell-model method that explicitly endows degrees of freedom to describe the scissors motion. Taking the recently measured γ -ray strength functions in Neodymium isotopes as examples, we find that the LEE arises from a quasi-free scissors motion appearing only in weakly-deformed nuclei, which can be viewed as an approximate free-rotation of neutrons with respect to protons. This leads us to propose a new type of collective motion, scissors rotation , to contrast the scissors vibration widely known in well-deformed nuclei.

  @article{ , abstract = {The first-ever measurement of energy correlators within inclusive jets produced in heavy-ion collisions, revealed by the CMS Collaboration, shows a clear enhancement at large angles relative to the proton-proton (p-p) baseline.

In this Letter, we introduce a new ratio of energy correlator observables that removes the leading effects of selection bias from the two-point energy correlator spectrum (E2C). pythia and herwig simulations show that the impact of selection bias in the E2C is reduced by an order of magnitude, while sensitivity to any other medium modifications is retained.

Toward characterizing the neutrino interaction, ostensibly or , we define the missing energy as the energy transferred to the nucleus ( ) minus the kinetic energy of the outgoing proton(s), and relate this to visible energy in the detector, . The missing energy, which is naively expected to be zero in the absence of nuclear effects (e.g., nucleon separation energy, Fermi momenta, and final-state interactions), is uniquely sensitive to many aspects of the interaction, and has previously been inaccessible with neutrinos. The shape-only, differential cross section measurement reported, based on a pure double-coincidence kaon decay-at-rest signal (621 total events), provides detailed insight into neutrino-nucleus interactions, allowing even the nuclear orbital shell of the struck nucleon to be inferred. The measurement provides an important benchmark for models and event generators at hundreds of MeV neutrino energies, characterized by the difficult-to-model transition region between neutrino-nucleus and neutrino-nucleon scattering, and relevant for applications in nuclear physics, neutrino oscillation measurements, and Type-II supernova studies.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline">JSNS2 Collaboration and E.

• (2025). Possible implications of QCD axion dark matter constraints from helioscopes and haloscopes for the string theory landscape. PRL, 134(8), 081602. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {Laboratory experiments have the capacity to detect the QCD axion in the next decade, and precisely measure its mass, if it composes the majority of the dark matter. In type IIB string theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds in the geometric regime, the QCD axion mass, m a , is strongly correlated with the topological Hodge number h 1 , 1 . We compute m a in a scan of 185965 compactifications of type IIB string theory on toric hypersurface Calabi-Yau threefolds. We compute the range of h 1 , 1 probed by different experiments under the condition that the QCD axion can provide the observed dark matter density with minimal fine-tuning. Taking the experiments DMRadio, ADMX, MADMAX, and BREAD as indicative on different mass ranges, the h 1 , 1 distributions peak near h 1 , 1 = 24.9 , 65.4, 196.8, and 310.9, respectively. We furthermore conclude that, without severe fine-tuning, detection of the QCD axion as dark matter at any mass disfavors 80% of models with h 1 , 1 = 491 , which is thought to have the most known Calabi-Yau threefolds. Measurement of the solar axion mass with IAXO is the dominant probe of all models with h 1 , 1 ≳ 250 .

Here, we give special attention to the Penrose ballistic process based on the fission of a massive particle into two particles and , occurring in the ergosphere of a Kerr BH. Bardeen et al. indicated that for the process to occur, some additional “hydrodynamical forces or superstrong radiation reactions” were needed. Wald and Chandrasekhar further expanded this idea. This animosity convinced Piran and collaborators to move from a simple three-body system characterizing the original Penrose process to a many-body system. This many-body approach was further largely expanded by others, some questionable in their validity. Here, we return to the simplest original Penrose process and show that the solution of the equations of motion, imposing the turning point condition on their trajectories, leads to the rotational energy extraction from the BH expected by Penrose. The efficiency of energy extraction by a single process is quantified for three different single decay processes occurring, respectively, at , and . An interesting repetitive model has been proposed by Misner et al. [ Gravitation (W. H. Freeman, San Francisco, 1973)].

  @article{ , abstract = {The diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission is a very important tool used to study the propagation and interaction of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. In this Letter, we report the measurements of the diffuse emission from the Galactic plane—covering Galactic longitudes from 15° to 235° and latitudes from − 5 ° to + 5 ° , in an energy range of 1 to 25 TeV—made with the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA) of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory. After the sky regions of known sources are masked, the diffuse emission is detected with 24.6 σ and 9.1 σ significance in the inner Galactic plane ( 15 ° < l < 12 5 ° , | b | < 5 ° ) and outer Galactic plane ( 125 ° < l < 23 5 ° , | b | < 5 ° ), respectively. The WCDA spectra in both regions can be well described by a power-law function, with spectral indices of − 2.67 ± 0.0 5 stat in the inner region and − 2.83 ± 0.1 9 stat in the outer region, respectively. Combined with the Square Kilometer Array (KM2A) measurements at higher energies, a clear softening of the spectrum is found in the inner region, with change of spectral indices by ∼ 0.5 at a break energy around 30 TeV. The fluxes of the diffuse emission are higher by a factor of 1.5–2.7 than the model prediction assuming local cosmic ray spectra and the gas column density, which are consistent with those measured by the KM2A. Along the Galactic longitude, the spatial distribution of the diffuse emission shows deviation from that of the gas column density. The spectral shape of the diffuse emission may vary in different longitude regions. The WCDA measurements bridge the gap between the low-energy measurements by space detectors and the ultra-high-energy observations by KM2A and other experiments.

For an important class of quantum communication channels, known as entanglement breaking, this limitation holds even if the sender and receiver share entangled particles. But does this mean that, for the purpose of communicating classical messages, a noisy entanglement-breaking qubit channel can be replaced by a noisy bit channel? Here we answer the question in the negative. We introduce a game, similar to the Monty Hall problem in classical statistics, where a sender assists a receiver in finding a valuable item (the “prize”) hidden in one of four possible boxes, while avoiding a hazardous item (the “bomb”) hidden in one of the remaining three boxes. We show that no classical strategy using a noisy bit channel can ensure that the bomb is avoided, even if the sender and receiver share arbitrary amounts of randomness. In contrast, communication of a qubit through a class of noisy entanglement-breaking channels, which we call quantum not channels, allows the players to deterministically avoid the bomb and to find the prize with a guaranteed nonzero probability. Our findings show that the communication of classical messages through a noisy entanglement-breaking qubit channel assisted by quantum entanglement cannot, in general, be simulated by communication through a noisy bit channel assisted by classical correlations.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Giulio Chiribella and Saptarshi Roy and Tamal Guha and Sutapa Saha}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.080803}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {080803}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {We introduce an ultrasensitive interferometric protocol that combines weak value amplification (WVA) with traditional interferometry. This protocol uses weak value amplification of the relative delay between two paths to enhance interferometric sensitivity. As an example, we demonstrate a proof-of-principle experiment that achieves few-attosecond timing resolution (few nanometer path length resolution) with a double-slit interferometer using only common optical components. Since our example uses only the spatial shift of double-slit interference fringes, its precision is not limited by the timing resolution of the detectors but is instead limited by the fundamental shot noise associated with classical light and the diminished technical noise. We experimentally demonstrate that the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved by one to two orders of magnitude relative to a measurement that does not use WVA. Two key conclusions are drawn: (i) Most conventional interferometric techniques primarily rely on determining the path difference (time delay or longitudinal phase), with their precision constrained by technical noise. Our protocol offers a robust solution for minimizing the technical noise in traditional interferometry, with precision in principle approaching the shot-noise limit. (ii) Although WVA has achieved significant advancements in ultrasensitive longitudinal phase measurement, its applicability is constrained by the need for broad spectral bandwidths and high-resolution spectrometers. Contrary to previous assumptions, we demonstrate that quantum-limited WVA time delay measurements are achievable with narrow band light using real weak values. Thus, the cost-effectiveness and practicality of the proposed protocol using narrow band light broaden the scope of WVA applications. This protocol holds potential for broad applications in optical metrology, quantum optics and quantum information, biomedical imaging, and interferometric telescopes for astrophysics.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jing-Hui Huang and Kyle M.

Crucially, we generalize this approach to demonstrate the potentiality of deterministically entangling two arbitrarily high, -dimensional quantum systems, by formally establishing a deep connection between the matrix representations of the unitary quantum holonomy—within energy-degenerate subspaces in which the total excitation number is conserved—and the ( )-dimensional irreducible representations of the rotation operator, where and .

We have discovered that in methylammonium lead iodide, this hysteretic metastable phase is athermal, meaning it shows almost no temporal phase evolution under isothermal conditions. We also show that a large number of distinguishable metastable states can be prepared following different thermal pathways. Furthermore, under a reversible thermal perturbation, the states in the metastable phase either show return-point memory or undergo a systematic nonrecoverable phase evolution, depending on the thermal history and the sign of the temperature perturbation. Since the phase fraction can be probed with extreme sensitivity via luminescence, we have an optically retrievable memory that reliably records any breach in temperature stability.

Exact diagonalization on top of Hartree-Fock calculations are carried out with the Wannier functions.

  @article{ , abstract = {The interplay between disorder and quantum interference leads to a wide variety of physical phenomena including celebrated Anderson localization—the complete absence of diffusive transport due to quantum interference between different particle trajectories. In two dimensions, any amount of disorder is thought to induce localization of all states at long enough length scales. In this Letter, we present an argument providing a mechanism for disrupting localization: by tuning the underlying curvature of the manifold on which diffusion takes place. We show that negative curvature manifolds contain a natural infrared cutoff for the probability of self-returning paths. We calculate the Cooperon—directly related to the weak-localization corrections to the conductivity—in hyperbolic space. It is shown that negative curvature leads to a rapid growth in the number of available trajectories a particle can coherently traverse in a given time, reducing the importance of interference effects and restoring diffusive behavior even in the absence of inelastic collisions. We further argue that on certain manifolds with variable curvature the hyperbolic regions dominate due to intermittency and arrest weak localization, which may be of relevance to two-dimensional materials due to surface roughness. This result may be amenable to experimental verification through the use of quantum simulators. Finally, we use results on mixed-curvature gravity by Zel’dovich to argue that our generic result on the absence of weak localization in two dimensions also applies to surfaces of mixed curvature, which may be of relevance to realistic experiments on weakly disordered metallic films on rough substrates.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jonathan B.

From the DFT band structure, we construct the bilayer tight-binding model in terms of the nickel 3 d 3 z 2 − r 2 and 3 d x 2 − y 2 orbitals. On this basis, we investigate the superconductivity induced by correlation effects by FRG calculations. We find consistently s ± -wave pairing triggered by spin fluctuations, but the latter are weakened by pressure and lead to a decreasing transition temperature versus pressure, in qualitative agreement with the experiment. We emphasize that the itinerancy of the d orbitals is important and captured naturally in our FRG calculations, and we argue that the unusual pressure dependence would be unnatural, if not impossible, in the otherwise local-moment picture of the nickel d orbitals. This sheds light on the pertinent microscopic description, and more importantly the mechanism, of superconductivity in La 3 Ni 2 O 7 .}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Kai-Yue Jiang and Yu-Han Cao and Qing-Geng Yang and Hong-Yan Lu and Qiang-Hua Wang}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.076001}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {2}, number = {7}, pages = {076001}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {Spin rotation is central for the spin manipulation of lepton beams which, in turn, plays an important role in investigation of the properties of spin-polarized lepton beams and the examination of spin-dependent interactions. However, realization of compact and ultrafast spin rotation of lepton beams, between longitudinal and transverse polarizations, still faces significant challenges. Here, we put forward a novel method for ultrafast (picosecond timescale) spin rotation of a relativistic lepton beam via employing a moderate-intensity terahertz (THz) wave in a dielectric-lined waveguide (DLW). The lepton beam undergoes spin precession induced by the THz magnetic field. We find that optimizing the lepton velocity and THz phase velocity in the DLW can mitigate the impact of transverse Lorentz forces on the lepton beam and increase the precession frequency, thereby maintaining the beam quality and enhancing the efficiency of transverse-to-longitudinal spin rotation. The final polarization degree of the lepton beam exceeds 98%, and the energy spread can be improved significantly. Flexibility in adjusting the electromagnetic modes within the DLW adds further potential for spin manipulation and holds promise for advancing the development of spin-polarized particle beams, which has broad applications in materials science and atomic, nuclear, and high-energy physics.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Zhong-Peng Li and Yu Wang and Ting Sun and Feng Wan and Yousef I.

Surprisingly, however, we show that such scaling predictions are invalidated by numerical solutions of the 2D Navier-Stokes equation forced at intermediate wave number and damped by weak linear or quadratic drag. We derive alternate scaling-laws for the effective diffusivity based on the emergence of intense, isolated vortices causing spatially inhomogeneous frictional dissipation localized within the small vortex cores.

To solve this problem, we develop an interferometric superresolution microscope capable of optimal direct axial nanoscopy, termed VILM (Vortex Interference Localization Microscopy). Using a pair of vortex phase plates with opposite orientation for each dual-opposed objective lens, the detection point-spread functions (PSFs) adopt a bilobed profile whose rotation encodes the axial position. Thus, direct 3D single-molecule coordinate determination can be achieved with a single output image. By reducing the number of output channels to as few as one and utilizing a simple beam splitter, the imaging system is significantly streamlined, while the optimal iSMLM imaging performance is retained, with axial precision 2 times better than the lateral.

While Chern indices characterizing quantized transport for uncoupled fundamental and second harmonic waves are nonzero, small-amplitude solitons with narrow spectra do not move, thus revealing a nontopological phase. As the nonlinearity increases, the system undergoes a sharp transition, depending on the velocity of one of the sublattices forming dynamical potential, into the phase where the quantized transport of quadratic solitons governed by nonzero Chern numbers is observed. The power level at which this transition occurs increases with increase of pumping velocity, and the transition is observed even in the regime when the adiabatic approximation no longer applies.

The frequencies, temperatures, and densities involved in these oscillations allow for violations of the chemical equilibrium promoted by weak interactions, thus leading to a nonzero bulk viscosity that can impact dynamics and GW signals. We present the first simulations of binary neutron-star mergers employing the self-consistent and second-order formulation of the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics for dissipative fluids proposed by Müller, Israel, and Stewart. With the spirit of obtaining a first assessment of the impact of bulk viscosity on the structure and radiative efficiency of the merger remnant we adopt a simplified but realistic approach for the viscosity, which we assume to be determined by direct and modified Urca reactions and hence to vary within the stars. At the same time, to compensate for the lack of a precise knowledge about the strength of bulk viscosity, we explore the possible behaviors by considering three different scenarios of low, medium, and high bulk viscosity. In this way, we find that large values of the bulk viscosities damp the collision-and-bounce oscillations that characterize the dynamics of the stellar cores right after the merger. At the same time, large viscosities tend to preserve the deformations in the remnant, thus leading to a comparatively more efficient GW emission and to changes in the postmerger spectrum that can be up to 100 Hz in the case of the most extreme configurations. Overall, our self-consistent results indicate that bulk viscosity increases the energy radiated in GWs soon after the merger by in the (realistic) scenario of small viscosity, and by in the (unrealistic) scenario of large viscosity.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Michail Chabanov and Luciano Rezzolla}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.071402}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {2}, number = {7}, pages = {071402}, shortjournal = {Phys.

In this work, we consider generic long-range open quantum systems in arbitrary dimensions and focus on the so-called strong long-range regime. We prove that in the thermodynamic limit local properties, captured by reduced quantum states, are described by an emergent noninteracting theory. Here, the dynamics factorizes and the individual constituents of the system evolve independently such that no correlations are generated over time. In this sense, long-range interacting systems are locally noninteracting. This has significant implications for their relaxation behavior, for instance, in relation to the emergence of long-lived quasistationary states or to the absence of thermalization.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Robert Mattes and Igor Lesanovsky and Federico Carollo}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.070402}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {2}, number = {7}, pages = {070402}, shortjournal = {Phys.

To compare the theoretical prediction with the experiment, we generalize our exact solution by incorporating the incompleteness of the initial alternating state, deriving the general linear growth law analytically. We find that it shows good agreement with the experimentally observed variance growth without any fitting parameters. Furthermore, we estimate a timescale for the local equilibration using our exact solution, finding that the timescale is independent of the initial incompleteness. To investigate the interaction effect, we implement numerical studies for the variance growth in interacting fermions, which has yet to be explored experimentally.

This flat band is dispersionless in momentum space but shows anomalously broad width around the zone center and the spectral weight decays rapidly as momentum increases.

The intensity of the flat band is reduced by surface doping with magnetic adatoms and the gap is closing, a result from the interaction between spin impurities coupled with spinons and the chargons, which gives rise to a charge redistribution. Doping with nonmagnetic impurities behaves differently as the chemical potential shift dominates.

Previous theoretical studies found that Anderson transition can exist in one-dimensional (1D) non-Hermitian disordered rings with chiral hopping, defying the scaling theory of localization for Hermitian systems. In these systems, localized (extended) modes are associated with real (complex) energies. Here, we report that Anderson localized modes with complex energies can also exist in such systems. The emergence of the complex-energy localized modes (CELMs) directly ties to the properties of the corresponding pristine non-Hermitian system. Specifically, the density of states of the complex spectrum under the periodic boundary condition and the non-Bloch parity-time transition of the open-boundary chain both play critical roles in the emergence of the CELMs. The coexistence of extended modes, real-energy localized modes (RELMs), and CELMs should be a generic phenomenon for 1D non-Hermitian disordered systems under class AI.

Here, we propose and demonstrate what we refer to as the “bulk-hole correspondence’’—a relation between the inner robust boundary modes (RBMs) and the existence of multiple “holes” in singular flatband lattices, mediated by the immovable discontinuity of the bulk Bloch wave functions. We find that the number of independent flatband states always equals the sum of the number of independent compact localized states and the number of nontrivial inner RBMs, as captured by the Betti number that also counts the hole number from topological data analysis. This correspondence is universal for singular flatband lattices, regardless of the lattice shape and the hole shape. Using laser-written kagome lattices as a platform, we experimentally observe such inner RBMs, demonstrating their real-space topological nature and robustness.

Achieving full programmability of the device while preserving its scalability is an open challenge. Here, we report a fully programmable SPIM achieved through a novel operation method based on the division of the focal plane. In our scheme, a general Ising problem is decomposed into a set of Mattis Hamiltonians, whose energies are simultaneously computed optically by measuring the intensity on different regions of the camera sensor. Exploiting this concept, we experimentally demonstrate the computation with high success probability of ground-state solutions of up to 32-spin Ising models on unweighted maximum cut graphs with and without ferromagnetic bias.

We show that ghost waves, unlike evanescent waves, sustain only momentum band gaps, opening wide band gaps at even the smallest modulation depths. Moreover, we demonstrate momentum band-gap effects on nonuniform waves that can be amplified or, through decaying modes, selectively attenuated. We find that ghost wave momentum band gaps uniquely boost refracted over reflected waves under one-way incidence, in stark contrast to the balanced amplification seen in both propagating and evanescent waves.

  @article{ , abstract = {We analyze the low-energy dynamics of gap-between-jets cross sections at hadron colliders, for which phase factors in the hard amplitudes spoil collinear cancellations and lead to double (“super-leading”) logarithmic behavior. Based on a method-of-regions analysis, we identify three-loop contributions from perturbative active-active Glauber-gluon exchanges with the right structure to render the cross section consistent with PDF factorization below the gap veto scale. The Glauber contributions we identify are unambiguously defined without regulators beyond dimensional regularization.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Thomas Becher and Patrick Hager and Sebastian Jaskiewicz and Matthias Neubert and Dominik Schwienbacher}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.061901}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {2}, number = {6}, pages = {061901}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {This Letter presents a search for highly ionizing magnetic monopoles in 262 μ b − 1 of ultraperipheral Pb + Pb collision data at s NN = 5.36 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. A new methodology that exploits the properties of clusters of hits reconstructed in the innermost silicon detector layers is introduced to study highly ionizing particles in heavy-ion data. No significant excess above the background, which is estimated using a data-driven technique, is observed. Using a nonperturbative semiclassical model, upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the cross section for pair production of monopoles with a single Dirac magnetic charge in the mass range of 20–150 GeV. Depending on the model, monopoles with a single Dirac magnetic charge and mass below 80–120 GeV are excluded.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {ATLAS Collaboration and G. Aad and E. Aakvaag and B.

  @article{ , abstract = {The hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to ( g − 2 ) μ can be determined via dispersive methods from e + e − → hadrons data. We propose a novel approach to measure the hadronic cross section σ had ( s ) as an alternative to the initial-state radiation and energy scan techniques, which relies on positron annihilation off atomic electrons of a high Z target ( U 238 , Z = 92 ). We show that by leveraging the relativistic electron velocities of the inner atomic shells, a high-intensity 12 GeV positron beam, such as the one foreseen at JLab, can allow measuring σ had ( s ) with high statistical accuracy from the two-pion threshold up to above s ∼ 1 GeV .}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Fernando Arias-Aragón and Luc Darmé and Giovanni Grilli di Cortona and Enrico Nardi}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.061802}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {2}, number = {6}, pages = {061802}, shortjournal = {Phys.

  @article{ , abstract = {The branching fraction ratios of B ¯ 0 → D + τ − ν ¯ τ and B ¯ 0 → D * + τ − ν ¯ τ decays are measured with respect to their muonic counterparts, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0 fb − 1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV . The reconstructed final states are formed by combining D + mesons with τ − → μ − ν ¯ μ ν τ candidates, where the D + is reconstructed via the D + → K − π + π + decay. The results are R ( D + ) = 0.249 ± 0.043 ± 0.047 , R ( D * + ) = 0.402 ± 0.081 ± 0.085 , where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.

This feature ensures correctability against single-photon loss and dephasing at short times, but also increases the difficulty of preparing the codewords. To minimize this tradeoff, we utilize a neural network to generate optimal approximate GKP states, allowing effective error correction with just a few squeezed coherent states. We find that such optimized GKP codes outperform the best conventional ones, requiring fewer squeezed coherent states, while maintaining simple and generalized stabilizer operators.

  @article{ , abstract = {Modern experimental methods enable the creation of self-assembly building blocks with tunable interactions, but optimally exploiting this tunability for the self-assembly of desired structures remains an important challenge. Many studies of this inverse problem start with the so-called fully addressable limit, where every particle in a target structure is different. This leads to clear design principles that often result in high assembly yield, but it is not a scalable approach—at some point, one must grapple with “reusing” building blocks, which lowers the degree of addressability and may cause a multitude of off-target structures to form, complicating the design process. Here, we solve a key obstacle preventing robust inverse design in the “semiaddressable regime” by developing a highly efficient algorithm that enumerates all structures that can be formed from a given set of building blocks. By combining this with established partition-function-based yield calculations, we show that it is almost always possible to find economical semiaddressable designs where the entropic gain from reusing building blocks outweighs the presence of off-target structures and even increases the yield of the target. Thus, not only does our enumeration algorithm enable robust and scalable inverse design in the semiaddressable regime, our results demonstrate that it is possible to operate in this regime while maintaining the level of control often associated with full addressability.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Maximilian C.

Epitaxial strain can greatly increase the ferroelectric transition temperature such that films can be in the ferroelectric state during growth.

Under these conditions it is readily possible for a grown film to be in a nonequilibrium domain configuration. As the energy landscape in the system is quite complex, the relaxation dynamics by which a system can evolve towards the true equilibrium configuration are also quite interesting. To capture the details of this process we used Bragg-geometry x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS), in which x-ray scattering speckle patterns contain the information from the domain arrangements inside the film.

Moreover, we also experimentally investigate nonequilibrium quench dynamics for photons and show that photonic Loschmidt echoes can identify the appearance of mobility edge phases.

The structure of neutron-deficient isotopes up to Po 210 ( N = 126 ) is well established as they are easily produced through various methods. However, there is not much information available for the neutron-rich counterparts for which only selective techniques can be used for their production. We report on the first fast-timing measurements of yrast states up to the 8 + level in Po 214 , 216 , 218 isotopes produced in the β − decay of Bi 214 , 216 , 218 at ISOLDE, CERN. In particular, our new half-life value of 607(14) ps for the 8 1 + state in Po 214 is nearly 20 times shorter than the value available in the literature and comparable with the newly measured half-lives of 409(16) and 628(25) ps for the corresponding 8 1 + states in Po 216 , 218 , respectively. The measured B ( E 2 ; 8 1 + → 6 1 + ) transition probability values follow an increasing trend relative to isotope mass, reaching a maximum for Po 216 . The increase contradicts the previous claims of isomerism for the 8 + yrast states in neutron-rich Po 214 and beyond. Together with the other measured yrast transitions, the B ( E 2 ) values provide a crucial test of the different theoretical approaches describing the underlying configurations of the yrast band.

Recent works that directly simulate the quantum kinetic transport of neutrinos in localized domains have suggested that the asymptotic outcome of FFCs can be modeled by simple analytical prescriptions when coarse grained over a size much larger than the FFC length scale. In this Letter , by leveraging such a scale separation, we incorporate the analytical prescriptions into global simulations that solve the classical neutrino transport equation including collisions and advection under spherical symmetry. We demonstrate that taking this approach allows to obtain results that quantitatively agree with those directly from the corresponding global quantum kinetic simulations and precisely capture the collisional feedback effect for cases where the FFC happens inside the neutrinosphere. Notably, the effective scheme does not require resolving the FFC time and length scales, hence only adds negligible computational overhead to classical transport.

We observe that these differences in solar modulation are linearly correlated with the differences in the spectral indices of the cosmic nuclei fluxes. This shows, in a model-independent way, that solar modulation of galactic cosmic nuclei depends on their spectral shape.

We observe that the relaxation rate for each spin is significantly slower than the naïve expectation based on independently estimated dipolar interaction strengths with nearest neighbors and is strongly correlated with the timescale of the local magnetic field fluctuation. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder and present a quantitative explanation based on dynamic resonance counting. Finally, we use resonant spin-lock driving to control the effective strength of the local magnetic fields and reveal the role of the dynamical disorder in different regimes.

We implement and experimentally verify these DD protocols on a superconducting transmon processor that supports qudit operation based on qutrits ( ) and ququarts ( ). Specifically, we demonstrate single-qudit DD sequences to decouple qutrits and ququarts from system-bath-induced decoherence. We also introduce two-qudit DD sequences designed to suppress the detrimental cross-Kerr couplings between coupled qudits.

On the other hand, quantum systems subject to generic Markovian dissipation decohere exponentially in time, approaching a unique steady state. Here we show how coherent limit-cycle oscillations and algebraic decay can emerge in a quantum system governed by a Markovian master equation as one approaches the classical limit, illustrating general mechanisms using a single-spin model and a two-site lossy Bose-Hubbard model. In particular, we demonstrate that the fingerprint of a limit cycle is a slow-decaying branch with vanishing decoherence rates in the Liouville spectrum, while a power-law decay is realized by a spectral collapse at the bifurcation point.

We consider the self-dual kicked Ising model, a minimal model of many-body quantum chaos that can be seen as either a periodically driven Floquet model or a dual-unitary quantum circuit. Both analytically and numerically, we show that the inverse participation ratios rapidly approach their ergodic values, corresponding to those of Haar random states, and establish the emergence of the Porter-Thomas distribution for the overlap distribution. Importantly, this convergence happens exponentially fast in time, with a timescale that is independent of system size.

We answer this question positively by showing that, for a broad class of classical communication tasks, a quantum dynamics’ ability to transmit bits of classical information is equivalent to its ability to transmit units of energy in a thermodynamic task. This finding not only provides an analytical correspondence between information transmission and energy extraction tasks, but also quantifies classical communication by thermodynamics.

It was recently shown that vertex models of dense biological tissue exhibit very atypical, sub-Arrhenius dynamics, and here we ask whether such atypical structural dynamics of vertex models are related to unusual elastic properties. It is known that at zero temperature these models have an elasticity controlled by their underconstrained or isostatic nature, but little is known about how their elasticity varies with temperature. To address this question we investigate the 2D Voronoi model and measure the temperature dependence of the intermediate-time plateau shear modulus and the bulk modulus. We find that unlike in conventional glass formers, these moduli increase monotonically with temperature until the system fluidizes. We further show that the structural relaxation time can be quantitatively linked to the plateau shear modulus , i.e. modulates the typical energy barrier scale for cell rearrangements. This suggests that the anomalous, structural dynamics of the 2D Voronoi model originates in its unusual elastic properties. Based on our results, we hypothesize that underconstrained systems might more generally give rise to a new class of “ultrastrong” glass formers.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Chengling Li and Matthias Merkel and Daniel M.

We find that friction is reduced due to local velocity fluctuations of grains. All data obey a local rheology that relates the material friction coefficient, the granular temperature, and the dimensionless shear rate. We also observe that reduction in material friction due to granular temperature is associated with reduction in fabric anisotropy. We demonstrate that the temperature can be modeled by a heat equation with dissipation with appropriate boundary conditions, which provides complete closure of the system and allows a fully local continuum description of sheared, vibrated granular flows. This success suggests local rheology based on temperature combined with a diffusion equation for granular temperature may provide a general strategy to model dense granular flows.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Mitchell G.

  @article{ , abstract = {Gels and attractive glasses—both dynamically arrested states formed through short-range attraction—are commonly found in a range of soft matter systems, including colloids, emulsions, proteins, and wet granular materials. Previous studies have revealed intriguing similarities and distinctions in their structural, dynamic, vibrational, and mechanical properties. However, the microstructural mechanisms underlying the gel-to-glass transition remain elusive. To address this, we investigate uniaxial compression-induced gel collapse using confocal microscopy, which provides experimental access to the relationship between mechanical stress and microstructure. Together with Brownian dynamics simulations, our study reveals two sequential transitions in void structure: from gels with percolating voids to isolated voids, and ultimately to voidless glasses. These transitions are closely linked to a shift from superlinear power-law scaling to explosive divergence toward the packing limit in both normal and deviatoric stresses as a function of volume fraction, particularly at lower temperatures. Understanding these mechanically self-organized transitions and their associated criticality deepens our insight into disordered solids, enabling better control over mechanical properties, interfacial characteristics, and transport behavior in porous materials.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Michio Tateno and Yinqiao Wang and Hajime Tanaka}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.048201}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {1}, number = {4}, pages = {048201}, shortjournal = {Phys.

For instance, it becomes possible to effectively prevent the transmission of the disease to vulnerable populations, such as infants and the elderly, by isolating some specific nodes such as their caretakers during the epidemic. From this perspective of targeted avoidance, we introduce a series of target centrality indicators and apply them to segment the target nodes from the giant component of the network.

We derive an upper limit to the quantum vacuum interaction strength between free electrons and single-mode photons, which illuminates the conditions for the strongest interaction. Crucially, we obtain an explicit energy selection recipe for electrons and photons to achieve maximal interaction at arbitrary separations and identify two optimal regimes favoring either fast or slow electrons over those with intermediate velocities. We validate the limit by analytical and numerical calculations on canonical geometries and provide near-optimal designs indicating the feasibility of strong quantum interactions.

In this Letter, we explore the concept of twisted bilayer and tetralayer nonlinear metasurfaces, which offer rich tunability in its effective nonlinear susceptibilities. Using gold-based metasurfaces, we demonstrate that a number of different singularities of nonlinear susceptibilities can exist in the parameter space of twist angle and interlayer gap between different twisted layers. At the singularities, reflected or transmitted light from the nonlinear process (such as second-harmonic generation) can either become circularly polarized (for C points), or entirely vanish (for V points). By further breaking symmetries of the system, we can independently tune all aspects of the reflected and transmitted nonlinear emission, achieving unidirectional emission with full-Poincaré polarization tunability, a dark state ( V − V point), or any other bidirectional output.

  @article{ , abstract = {The type IIB matrix model is a promising nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory, which may elucidate the emergence of ( )-dimensional space-time. However, the partition function is divergent due to the Lorentz symmetry, which is represented by a noncompact group. This divergence has been regularized conventionally by introducing some infrared cutoff, which breaks the Lorentz symmetry. Here we point out, in a simple model, that Lorentz-invariant observables become classical as one removes the infrared cutoff and that this “classicalization” is actually an artifact of the Lorentz symmetry breaking cutoff. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a natural way to “gauge-fix” the Lorentz symmetry in a fully nonperturbative manner. Thus, we arrive at a new definition of the type IIB matrix model, which also enables us to perform numerical simulations in such a way that the time evolution can be extracted from the generated configurations.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Yuhma Asano and Jun Nishimura and Worapat Piensuk and Naoyuki Yamamori}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.041603}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {1}, number = {4}, pages = {041603}, shortjournal = {Phys.

So far, the existence of such theories has been established in fractional dimensions for local but nonunitary models or in 2 + 1 dimensions but for nonlocal models. Here, we study local models at zero and finite temperature directly in 2 + 1 dimensions employing functional methods. At zero temperature, we establish that our approach describes the quantum critical behavior with good accuracy for all N ≥ 2 . We then exhibit the mechanism of discrete symmetry breaking from O ( N ) × Z 2 → O ( N ) for increasing temperature near the biconical critical point when N is finite but large. We calculate the corresponding finite-temperature phase diagram and further show that the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner theorem is fully respected within this approach, i.e., symmetry breaking only occurs in the Z 2 sector.

In contrast to other dissipative approaches, we do not rely on complex engineered dissipation or input states, nor do we require tuning the system to a critical point. Instead, we utilize a strong symmetry, a special type of symmetry that can occur in open quantum systems and emerges naturally in systems with collective dissipation, such as superradiance. This symmetry preserves coherence and allows for the accumulation of an atom number-dependent Berry phase which in turn creates spin-squeezed states via emergent one axis twisting dynamics. This work shows that it is possible to generate entanglement in an atom-cavity resonant regime with macroscopic optical excitations of the system, going beyond the typical dispersive regime with negligible optical excitations often utilized in current cavity-QED experiments.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Jeremy T.

Through sample complexity analysis, we demonstrate that our protocol requires only a constant number of measurement bases, making it particularly advantageous for systems utilizing ensemble average measurements, as it maintains constant runtime complexity regardless of the number of qubits.

  @article{ , abstract = {Like the letters in the alphabet forming words, reusing components of a heterogeneous mixture is an efficient strategy for assembling a large number of target structures. Examples range from synthetic DNA origami to proteins self-assembling into complexes. The standard self-assembly paradigm views target structures as free-energy minima of a mixture. While this is an appealing picture, at high speed structures may be kinetically trapped in local minima, reducing self-assembly accuracy. How then can high speed, high accuracy, and combinatorial usage of components coexist? We propose to reconcile these three concepts not by avoiding kinetic traps, but by exploiting them to encode target structures. This can be achieved by sculpting the kinetic pathways of the mixture, instead of its free-energy landscape.

  @article{ , abstract = {The Luria-Delbrück model is a classic model of population dynamics with random mutations, that has been used historically to prove that random mutations drive evolution. In typical scenarios, the relevant mutation rate is exceedingly small, and mutants are counted only at the final time point. Here, inspired by recent experiments on DNA repair, we study a mathematical model that is formally equivalent to the Luria-Delbrück setup, with the repair rate p playing the role of mutation rate, albeit taking on large values, of order unity per cell division. We find that although at large times the fraction of repaired cells approaches one, the variance of the number of repaired cells undergoes a phase transition: when p > 1 / 2 the variance decreases with time, but, intriguingly, for p < 1 / 2 even though the fraction of repaired cells approaches 1, the variance in the number of repaired cells increases with time. Analyzing DNA-repair experiments, we find that in order to explain the data the model should also take into account the probability of a successful repair process once it is initiated. Taken together, our work shows how the study of variability can lead to surprising phase transitions as well as provide biological insights into the process of DNA repair.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Deng Pan and Jie Lin and Ariel Amir}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.038401}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {1}, number = {3}, pages = {038401}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Here, using colloidal experiments combined with coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the glass transition in monolayers of rough colloidal ellipsoids. Compared with smooth colloidal ellipsoids, the surface roughness of ellipsoids is found to significantly change the nature of glass transition. In particular, we find that the surface roughness induced by coating only a few small hemispheres on the ellipsoids can eliminate the existence of orientational glass and the two-step glass transition found in monolayers of smooth ellipsoids. This is due to the surface roughness-induced coupling between the translational and rotational degrees of freedom in colloidal ellipsoids, which also destroys the structure-dynamics correlation found in glass-forming suspensions of colloidal ellipsoids.

It allows us to create highly reconfigurable SAW microfluidics that can be switched on demand between the acoustohydrodynamic (AHD) regime and electrohydrodynamic (EHD) regime for manipulating particles and cells. The control of wave polarization comes from our experimental and theoretical identification of an unexpected shear-horizontal (SH) wave mode in a conventional Rayleigh (R) wave design, which is stereotyped to excite only vertically polarized Rayleigh SAWs. The SH wave mode is predominantly horizontally polarized and can be selectively excited to propagate in the same direction as the Rayleigh SAW. Such a selective wave generation between the SH mode and R mode allows for reconfiguration between AHD and EHD regimes that leads to unprecedented colloidal patterns and assembly dynamics. Such a reconfiguration of the particle manipulation mechanism can be explained by the controllable competition or synergism between the coexisting acoustic and electric fields. Remarkably, in the EHD regime, a virtual zero-boundary electric quadrupole is created, and a novel colloidal diamond-shaped assembly is observed in this piezoelectric-quadrupole trap, which was rarely reported in acoustic or electric microfluidics.

Using two-dimensional coherent electronic spectroscopy, we analyze how their quantum decoherence evolves with doping density and determine the condition under which stable Fermi polarons form. Because of the large oscillator strength associated with these resonances, intrinsic quantum dynamics of polarons as well as valley coherence between coupled singlet- and triplet polarons occur on subpicosecond timescales. Surprisingly, we find that a dark-to-bright state conversion process leads to a particularly long-lived singlet polaron valley polarization, persisting up to 200–800 ps.

  @article{ , abstract = {Topological singularities, such as Weyl points (WPs) and Dirac points, can give rise to unidirectional propagation channels known as chiral zero modes (CZMs) when subject to a magnetic field. CZMs, as distinct zeroth Landau levels (bulk modes) with high degeneracy, are responsible for intriguing phenomena like the chiral anomaly in quantum systems. The propagation direction of each CZM is determined by both the applied magnetic field and the topological charge of the singularity point. While counterpropagating CZMs have been observed in 2D and 3D systems, the realization of copropagating CZMs has remained elusive. Here, we present the first experimental observation of copropagating CZMs in magnetic photonic crystals hosting a single pair of ideal Weyl points. By manipulating the crystal’s structural configuration and applying a uniform bias magnetic field, we spatially alter the locations of the WPs, creating pseudo-magnetic fields of opposite directions for different WPs. This arrangement results in a pair of CZMs that possess the same group velocity and copropagate. Our work opens up new possibilities for the topological manipulation of wave propagation and may lead to advancements in optical waveguides, switches, and various other applications.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Zhongfu Li and Shaojie Ma and Shuwei Li and Oubo You and Yachao Liu and Qingdong Yang and Yuanjiang Xiang and Peiheng Zhou and Shuang Zhang}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.033802}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {1}, number = {3}, pages = {033802}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Consequently, the many pulses circulating in the cavity are not necessarily coherent with each other. As these partially disordered states for the phase of the field still feature regular intensity pulses, we term them as incoherent crystals of optical pulses. We provide evidence that the notion of coherence should be interpreted by comparing the duration of the measurement time with the Kramers’ escape time of each splay state.

  @article{ , abstract = {We report the experimental observation of double intermolecular Coulombic decay (dICD) and reveal its potential for radiation biology in some prototypical molecular dimers consisting of benzene, pyridine, and water. In dICD, the inner-shell vacancy is filled by an electron from an outer shell and the energy released is transferred to doubly ionize the neighboring molecule with the emission of two low-energy electrons. The system further relaxes by a three-body Coulomb explosion process, e.g., C H + 3 + C 5 ⁢ H + 3 + C 6 ⁢ H + 6 for benzene dimer. Through multicoincidence momentum imaging, we find that dICD is an efficient relaxation pathway for the Auger-accessible inner-shell ionization states in molecular complexes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Any experimental evidence of nucleons paired in spin-triplet states will confirm the existence of an exotic phase of nuclear systems. This type of nuclear superfluidity has been hypothesized in heavy nuclei, where the antagonizing spin-orbit effects are damped, and there it oftentimes coexists with traditional spin-singlet pairing, leading to the possibility of mixed-spin pairing. Realistic nuclear deformation, not considered in such studies, could make-or-break these proposals, since its effect on triplet pairing, and the competition (and coexistence) of the two superfluid phases, was expected to be crucial. We report on a thorough study on the effect of deformation on triplet, singlet, and mixed-spin pairing in the relevant region of the nuclear chart. We find that, at low isospin asymmetries, spin-triplet pairing is enhanced by deformation, while below the proton-drip line, the novel superfluid phase survives alongside the usual spin-singlet pairing.

This directly applies to Tr ( ϕ 3 ) , nonlinear sigma models, or Yang-Mills-scalar amplitudes, revealing a novel type of enhanced UV scaling in these theories. We also use this observation to prove the conjecture that Tr ( ϕ 3 ) amplitudes are uniquely fixed by the zeros, up to an overall normalization, when assuming an ordered and local propagator structure and trivial numerators. In this context, unitarity (residue factorization) may be viewed as a consequence of the zeros. For Yang-Mills theory, we conjecture the zeros, combined with the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson color-kinematic duality in the form of amplitude relations, uniquely fix the ⌊ n / 2 ⌋ distinct polarization structures of n -point gluon amplitudes.

According to the cosmological principle, such emission must average to zero across all binary mergers in our Universe to preserve mirror-reflection symmetry at very large scales. We present a new independent gravitational-wave test of this hypothesis. Using a novel observable based on the Chern-Pontryagin pseudoscalar, we measure the emission of net circular polarization across 47 black-hole mergers recently analyzed by [T. Islam et al. , arXiv:2309.14473 .] with a state-of-the art model for precessing black-hole mergers in general relativity. The average value obtained is consistent with zero. Remarkably, however, we find that at least 82% of the analyzed sources must have produced net circular polarization. Of these, GW200129 shows strong evidence for mirror asymmetry, with a Bayes factor of 12.6 or, equivalently, 93.1% probability. We obtain consistent (although stronger) results of 97.5% and 94.3%, respectively, using public results on this event from [M. Hannam et al. , Nature (London) 610 , 652 (2022) .] and performing our own parameter inference.

  @article{ , abstract = {Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) detect gravitational waves (GWs) via the correlations they create in the arrival times of pulses from different pulsars. The mean correlation, a function of the angle between the directions to two pulsars, was predicted in 1983 by Hellings and Downs (HD). Observation of this angular pattern is crucial evidence that GWs are present, so PTAs “reconstruct the HD curve” by estimating the correlation using pulsar pairs separated by similar angles. Several studies have examined the amount by which this curve is expected to differ from the HD mean. The variance arises because (a) a finite set of pulsars at specific sky locations is used, (b) the GW sources interfere, and (c) the data are contaminated by noise. Here, for a Gaussian ensemble of sources, we predict that variance by constructing an optimal estimator of the HD correlation, taking into account the pulsar sky locations and the frequency distribution of the GWs and the pulsar noise. The variance is a ratio: the numerator depends upon the pulsar sky locations, and the denominator is the (effective) number of frequency bins for which the GW signal dominates the noise. In effect, after suitable combination, each such frequency bin gives an independent estimate of the HD correlation.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Bruce Allen and Joseph D.

Here, we propose a simple model, where randomly selected pairs of nodes communicate through the shortest paths. Each time such a path is used, all participating links are eliminated, leading to a correlated percolation process that we call “path percolation.” We study path percolation both numerically and analytically and present the phase diagram of the steady states as a function of the rate at which new links are being added to the network. As a key result, the steady state is found to be independent of the initial network topologies when new links are added randomly between disconnected components.

  @article{ , abstract = {Metasurface polarization optics have attracted considerable attention due to their ability to manipulate independently the wave fronts of different polarization channels with subwavelength scale. Previous methods mainly focused on the condition of complete polarization conversion, restricting the application range of metasurface polarization multiplexing. Here, we proposed a generalized framework of phase manipulation for the metasurface polarization optics, which can realize independent phase control and arbitrary energy distribution of different polarization channels for the arbitrary polarization conversion efficiency. Based on this principle, we experimentally demonstrate tripolarization-channel wave-front control for the arbitrary polarization state (elliptical, circular, and linear). The arbitrary energy distribution of different polarization channels has been achieved via varying the polarization conversion efficiency. The proposed framework significantly improves the performance of metasurface in the polarization multiplexing and energy distribution, and expands the application scope of metasurface in the polarization optics.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Siqi Li and Chen Chen and Guoxi Wang and Suyang Ge and Jiaqi Zhao and Xianshun Ming and Wei Zhao and Tao Li and Wenfu Zhang}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.023803}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {1}, number = {2}, pages = {023803}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Here, we demonstrate a chip-scale coupled laser system that exhibits complex optical states impossible to achieve in an uncoupled system. We show that a pair of coupled semiconductor ring lasers spontaneously forms a frequency comb consisting of the hybridized modes of its coupled cavity, exhibiting a large number of phase-locked tones that anticross with one another. Experimental coherent waveform reconstruction reveals that the hybridized frequency comb manifests itself as pairs of bright and dark picosecond-long solitons circulating simultaneously. The dark and bright solitons exit the coupled cavity at the same time, leading to breathing bright solitons temporally overlapped with their dark soliton counterparts—a state inaccessible for a single, free-running laser. Our results demonstrate that the rules that govern allowable states of light can be broken by simply coupling elements together, paving the way for the design of more complex networks of coupled on-chip lasers.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Theodore P.

Here, we propose an approach to measuring these invariants and diagnosing topological gapped crystalline materials, which is experimentally validated in two-dimensional photonic crystals with finite size. Notably, this diagnosis approach relies exclusively on the measured field distribution within the bulk region, without necessitating the energy band diagram possessing complete band gaps, even in the absence of in-gap states in real materials.

  @article{ , abstract = {PHENIX presents a simultaneous measurement of the production of direct and in collisions at over a range of 7.5 to for different event samples selected by event activity, i.e., charged-particle multiplicity detected at forward rapidity. Direct-photon yields are used to empirically estimate the contribution of hard-scattering processes in the different event samples. Using this estimate, the average nuclear-modification factor, is , consistent with unity for minimum-bias (MB) collisions. For event classes with low and moderate event activity, is consistent with the MB value within 5% uncertainty. This result confirms that the previously observed enhancement of high- production found in small-system collisions with low event activity is a result of a bias in interpreting event activity within the Glauber framework. In contrast, for the top 5% of events with the highest event activity, is suppressed by 20% relative to the MB value with a significance of , which may be due to final-state effects.

  @article{ , abstract = {Understanding the properties of hypernuclei is crucial for constraining the nature of hyperon-nucleon ( ) interactions, which plays a key role in determining the inner structure of compact stars. The lightest hypernuclei and antihypernuclei are the hypertriton ( ), which consists of a pair of nucleons and a hyperon, and its antinucleus ( ). Significant knowledge has recently been acquired regarding the mass, lifetime, and binding energy of . However, its exact spin, whether or , remains undetermined in both experimental and theoretical studies. Here, we present a novel method of using the hypertriton global polarization in heavy-ion collisions to decipher not only its total spin but also its internal spin structure. This method is based on the finding that its three different spin structures exhibit distinct beam energy dependence of its global polarization when it is produced in these collisions from the coalescence of proton, neutron and . Future observations of the hypertriton and antihypertriton global polarizations thus provide the opportunity to unveil the spin structures of hypertriton and antihypertriton and their production mechanisms in heavy-ion collisions.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Kai-Jia Sun and Dai-Neng Liu and Yun-Peng Zheng and Jin-Hui Chen and Che Ming Ko and Yu-Gang Ma}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.022301}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {1}, number = {2}, pages = {022301}, shortjournal = {Phys.

We investigated LDM produced by the invisible decay of dark photons, a well-motivated mechanism generated by high-flux photons during reactor operation. The energy spectra collected during reactor-on and reactor-off periods were compared within the LDM signal region of 1–10 keV. No signal consistent with LDM interaction with electrons was observed, allowing us to set 90% confidence level exclusion limits on the dark matter-electron scattering cross section ( σ e ) across dark matter masses ranging from 1 to 1000 keV / c 2 . Our results set a 90% confidence level upper limit of σ e = 3.17 × 10 − 35 cm 2 for a dark matter mass of 100 keV / c 2 , marking the best laboratory result in this mass range.

Each of the two lattice charges generates an ordinary U(1) global symmetry that acts locally on operators and can be gauged individually. Interestingly, they do not commute on a finite lattice and generate the Onsager algebra, but their commutator goes to zero in the continuum limit. The chiral anomaly is matched by this non-Abelian algebra, which is consistent with the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem. We further prove that the presence of these two conserved lattice charges forces the low-energy phase to be gapless, reminiscent of the consequence from perturbative anomalies of continuous global symmetries in continuum field theory. Upon bosonization, these two charges lead to two exact U(1) symmetries in the XX model that flow to the momentum and winding symmetries in the free boson conformal field theory.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Arkya Chatterjee and Salvatore D.

  @article{ , abstract = {Scrambling dynamics induced by random unitary gates can protect information from low-rate measurements, which underpins the phenomenon known as the measurement-induced phase transition (MIPT). However, typical decoherence noise disrupts the volume-law phase, complicating the observation of the MIPT on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. Here, we demonstrate that incorporating quantum-enhanced operations can effectively protect the MIPT from environmental noise, thereby enabling its detection in experiment. The transition is characterized by conditional entanglement entropy, which is associated with a statistical mechanics model wherein noise and quantum-enhanced operations act as competing external random fields. When the net external field is zero, a ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition is expected, resulting in the MIPT. This zero-field condition also ensures an average apparatus-environment symmetry, making conditional entanglement entropy a valid probe of entanglement and establishing the transition as a genuine entanglement phase transition. Additionally, we provide numerical results that demonstrate the MIPT in a ( )-dimensional quantum circuit under dephasing noise. We also propose a method to estimate the noise rate, enabling the zero-field condition to be achieved experimentally and ensuring the feasibility of our protocol.

  @article{ , abstract = {The area law of the bipartite information measure characterizes one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum many-body physics. In thermal equilibrium, the area law for the mutual information universally holds at arbitrary temperatures as long as the systems have short-range interactions. In systems with power-law decaying interactions, r − α ( r : distance), conditions for the thermal area law are elusive. In this Letter, we aim to clarify the optimal condition α > α c such that the thermal area law universally holds. A standard approach to considering the conditions is to focus on the magnitude of the boundary interaction between two subsystems. However, we find here that the thermal area law is more robust than this conventional argument suggests. We show the optimal threshold for the thermal area law by α c = ( D + 1 ) / 2 ( D : the spatial dimension of the lattice), assuming a power-law decay of the clustering for the bipartite correlations. Remarkably, this condition encompasses even the thermodynamically unstable regimes α < D . We verify this condition numerically, finding that it is qualitatively accurate for both integrable and nonintegrable systems.

  @article{ , abstract = {The kinetic uncertainty relation (KUR) bounds the signal-to-noise ratio of stochastic currents in terms of the number of transitions per unit time, known as the dynamical activity. This bound was derived in a classical context and can be violated in the quantum regime due to coherent effects. However, the precise connection between KUR violations and quantum coherence has so far remained elusive, despite significant investigation. In this Letter, we solve this problem by deriving a modified bound that exactly pinpoints how, and when, coherence might lead to KUR violations. Our bound is sensitive to the specific kind of unraveling of the quantum master equation. It, therefore, allows one to compare quantum jumps and quantum diffusion, and understand, in each case, how quantum coherence affects fluctuations. We illustrate our result on a double quantum dot, where the electron current is monitored either by electron jump detection or with continuous diffusive charge measurement.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Kacper Prech and Patrick P.

  @article{ , abstract = {Although optimal control (OC) has been studied in stochastic thermodynamics for systems with continuous state variables, less is known in systems with discrete state variables, such as chemical reaction networks (CRNs). Here, we develop a general theoretical framework to study OC of CRNs for changing the system from an initial distribution of states to a final distribution with minimum dissipation. We derive a “Kirchhoff’s law” for the probability current in the adiabatic limit, from which the optimal kinetic rates are determined analytically for any given probability trajectory allowed by local rate constraints. By using the optimal rates, we show that the total dissipation is determined by a L 2 -distance measure in the probability space and derive an analytical expression for the metric tensor that depends on the probability distribution, network topology, and capacity of each link. Minimizing the total dissipation leads to the geodesic trajectory in the probability space and the corresponding OC protocol is determined by the Kirchhoff’s law. To demonstrate our general approach, we use it to find a lower bound for the minimum dissipation that is tighter than existing bounds obtained with only global constraints in the adiabatic limit. We also apply it to simple networks, e.g., fully connected three-state CRNs with different local constraints and show that indirect pathway and nonfunctional transient state can play a crucial role in switching between different probability distributions efficiently.

Here we study the conserved Noether current due to spin-rotation symmetry of the local spins in noncollinear AFMs. Interestingly, we find that a Hall component of the spin current can be generically created by a longitudinal driving force associated with a propagating spin wave, inherently distinguishing noncollinear AFMs from collinear ones.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ferromagnetic insulators are receiving ever-increasing research activities driven not only by the unique advantage of low power loss during spin-wave-based information processing but also by the potential to construct next-generation spintronic devices. However, either the exceedingly rare candidates or the low Curie temperature far below room temperature greatly hinder their practical application. Here, through the modulation of a novel three-dimensional (3D) tensile strain, a room-temperature ferromagnetic insulating state with a Curie temperature as high as 594 K is achieved in self-assembled nanocomposite thin films.

Here, we report the observation of resonant magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in the infrared range in thin film exhibiting a spectral intensity that correlates with the anomalous Hall effect. Both phenomena emerge with a field-driven phase transition from an antiferromagnet to a canted ferromagnet. By theoretically relating the MCD to the anomalous Hall effect via Berry curvature for a metallic state, we show that this transition accompanies an abrupt onset of Berry curvature, signaling a topological phase transition from a topological insulator to a doped Chern insulator. Our density functional theory calculation suggests the MCD signal mainly originates from an optical transition at the Brillouin zone edge, hinting at a potential new source of Berry curvature away from the commonly considered point.

Those cases for which reference potentials are available showed that in particular correlation potentials from common approximate density functionals are of poor quality and sometimes have little in common with the exact potentials. This hampers the further development of KS-DFT. Here, we show that highly accurate correlation potentials can be obtained within the random phase approximation (RPA).

By introducing certain perturbations that break the out-of-plane mirror symmetry, the two off- BICs decompose into four circularly polarized states ( points) with identical topological charges (each with half the topological charge of the original BIC) while the at- BIC is preserved. Then, we selectively manipulate the four points associated with the downward radiation channel to converge at the at- BIC, forming a Janus BIC with distinct topological charges for upward and downward radiation. By further introducing in-plane mirror symmetry perturbation, we can bring two of the points with the same handedness and identical topological charges for upward radiation to merge into the Janus BIC. This process results in a Janus chiral BIC which exhibits large intrinsic chirality and an infinite factor.

  @article{ , abstract = {Mixtures of ultracold gases with long-range interactions are expected to open new avenues in the study of quantum matter. Natural candidates for this research are spin mixtures of atomic species with large magnetic moments. However, the lifetime of such assemblies can be strongly affected by the dipolar relaxation that occurs in spin-flip collisions. Here we present experimental results for a mixture composed of the two lowest Zeeman states of Dy 162 atoms, that act as dark states with respect to a light-induced quadratic Zeeman effect. We show that, due to an interference phenomenon, the rate for such inelastic processes is dramatically reduced with respect to the Wigner threshold law. Additionally, we determine the scattering lengths characterizing the s -wave interaction between these states, providing all necessary data to predict the miscibility range of the mixture, depending on its dimensionality.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Maxime Lecomte and Alexandre Journeaux and Julie Veschambre and Jean Dalibard and Raphael Lopes}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.013402}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {1}, number = {1}, pages = {013402}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Addressing the challenge of inhomogeneous frequency shifts in such systems, our scheme mitigates primary contributors, namely, the electric quadrupole and the linear Zeeman shifts. Based on 8 8 S r + ions, we implement the scheme in linear chains of up to 7 ions and demonstrate a significant suppression of the shift by more than 3 orders of magnitude, leading to relative frequency inhomogeneity below 7 × 1 0 − 1 7 . Additionally, we evaluate the associated systematic shift arising from the radio-frequency drive used in the QCDD scheme, showing that, in the presented realization, its contribution to the systematic relative frequency uncertainty is below 1 0 − 1 7 , with the potential for further improvement.

The deformation lengths of the excited states in Be 10 below 9 MeV have been inferred from the differential cross sections using coupled channel calculations. This observed 1 − resonance has isoscalar characteristics and exhausts approximately 5%–15% of the isoscalar dipole energy-weighted sum rule, providing evidence for pronounced α cluster structure in Be 10 . The Gamow coupled channel approach supports this interpretation and suggests the near-threshold effect might be playing an important role in this excitation energy domain.

  @article{ , abstract = {Understanding the behavior of dense hadronic matter is a central goal in nuclear physics as it governs the nature and dynamics of astrophysical objects such as supernovae and neutron stars. Because of the nonperturbative nature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), little is known rigorously about hadronic matter in these extreme conditions. Here, lattice QCD calculations are used to compute thermodynamic quantities and the equation of state of QCD over a wide range of isospin chemical potentials with controlled systematic uncertainties. Agreement is seen with chiral perturbation theory when the chemical potential is small. Comparison to perturbative QCD at large chemical potential allows for an estimate of the gap in the superconducting phase, and this quantity is seen to agree with perturbative determinations. Since the partition function for an isospin chemical potential bounds the partition function for a baryon chemical potential , these calculations also provide rigorous nonperturbative QCD bounds on the symmetric nuclear matter equation of state over a wide range of baryon densities for the first time.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Ryan Abbott and William Detmold and Marc Illa and Assumpta Parreño and Robert J.

These dispersive estimates result in a SM prediction that exhibits a muon g − 2 discrepancy of more than 5 σ when compared to experiment. However, recent lattice QCD evaluations of the HVP and a new hadronic cross section measurement from the CMD-3 experiment favor a no-new-physics scenario and, therefore, exhibit a common tension with the previous e + e − → hadrons data.

The NNLL terms are phenomenologically sizeable, as illustrated in comparisons to data.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Melissa van Beekveld and Mrinal Dasgupta and Basem Kamal El-Menoufi and Silvia Ferrario Ravasio and Keith Hamilton and Jack Helliwell and Alexander Karlberg and Pier Francesco Monni and Gavin P.

  @article{ , abstract = {We present the first results from a dark matter search using six Skipper-CCDs in the SENSEI detector operating at SNOLAB. We employ a bias-mitigation technique of hiding approximately 46% of our total data and aggressively mask images to remove backgrounds. Given a total exposure after masking of 100.72 gram-days from well-performing sensors, we observe 55 two-electron events, 4 three-electron events, and no events containing 4–10 electrons. The two-electron events are consistent with pileup from one-electron events. Among the 4 three-electron events, 2 appear in pixels that are likely impacted by detector defects, although not strongly enough to trigger our “hot-pixel” mask. We use these data to set world-leading constraints on sub-GeV dark matter interacting with electrons and nuclei.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Prakruth Adari and Itay M. Bloch and Ana M.

  @article{ , abstract = {One of the main goals of studying semileptonic decays in flavor physics is to gain a better understanding of hadronic transitions in the nonperturbative region of Quantum Chromodynamics. This involves measuring Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements, understanding form factors, and comparing them with theoretical predictions. We report a first study of the semileptonic decay by analyzing an annihilation data sample of collected at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector. The absolute branching fraction of is measured for the first time, providing necessary input for extracting the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element through this process. This measurement allows us to test lepton flavor universality, with no indication of violation found.

We elucidate the role of quantum coherence between encoding and control in different temperature regimes, which include ground state metrology as a limiting case. In the case of locally encoded parameters, the optimal sensitivity presents an N 2 scaling in terms of the number of particles of the probe, which can be reached, at finite temperature, with local measurements and no entanglement.

This correspondence between the spectral gap and the scaling of entanglement offers an intriguing common structure with ground-state phase transitions. We also discuss some crucial differences from ground-state transitions, such as the extensive entanglement and the exponentially small gaps.

Here, we discover that the universal scaling behavior across a higher-order topological phase transition does not conform to the traditional Kibble-Zurek mechanism. To explain the anomalous scaling exponent, we develop a solvable Landau-Zener model that takes into account the role of topological edge band that dominates the phase transition. For a two-dimensional boundary-obstructed higher-order topological system, the Kibble-Zurek scaling must be modified to adopt the effective dimension of topological edge band instead of the real physical dimension. We also find that across the boundary-obstructed higher-order topological phase transition, boundary conditions can drastically modify the scaling behaviors. For comparison, we investigate the slow quench dynamics across the bulk-obstructed phase transitions and a single multicritical point, which obeys the Kibble-Zurek mechanism with physical dimension.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Menghua Deng and Zhoujian Sun and Fuxiang Li}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.010409}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, month = {1}, number = {1}, pages = {010409}, shortjournal = {Phys.

Transporting ergotropy is fundamentally different from transporting energy, and here we find that ergotropy can be gained even when the transmission channel is strictly energy conserving. We show that, generically, ergotropy transport is lossy whenever the two systems start uncorrelated. In contrast, for a large class of correlated initial states, transport can be gainful. Furthermore, a single correlated state can be used multiple times, allowing to transport without losses an order of magnitude more work than the battery capacity. Correlations are thus a useful resource for ergotropy transport, and we quantify how this resource is consumed during gainful transport.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Rick P. A.

We thereby identify as signatures of chaotic many-body eigenstates the universality of both their cross-correlations and the Gaussian distribution of expansion coefficients. Combined, these two features imprint characteristic features to the morphology of eigenstates that we check against extensive quantum simulations.

Motivated by recent experimental progress on “erasure conversion” techniques that allow one to identify ( herald ) decoherence processes, we consider open systems with biased erasure noise, which leads to strongly symmetric heralded errors. We utilize this heralding to construct a local correction protocol that effectively confines errors into short-ranged pairs in the steady state. Using a combination of numerical simulations and mean-field analysis, we show that our protocol stabilizes SPT order against a sufficiently low rate of decoherence. As the rate of heralded noise increases, SPT order is eventually lost through a directed percolation transition. We further find that while introducing unheralded errors destroys SPT order in the limit of long length scales and timescales, the correction protocol is sufficient for ensuring that local SPT order persists, with a correlation length that diverges as , where is the fraction of errors that are heralded.}, archive = {J_PRL}, author = {Sanket Chirame and Fiona J.

  @article{ , abstract = {The spectral form factor (SFF) captures universal spectral fluctuations as signatures of quantum chaos, and has been instrumental in advancing multiple frontiers of physics including the studies of black holes and quantum many-body systems. The measurement of the SFF in many-body systems is however challenging due to the difficulty in resolving level spacings that become exponentially small with increasing system size. Here, we utilize the random measurement toolbox to perform a direct experimental measurement of the SFF, and hence probe the presence or absence of chaos in quantum many-body systems on superconducting quantum processors. For a Floquet chaotic system, we observe signatures of both short- and long-range spectral correlations in the SFF given by the ramp-plateau behavior. Furthermore, for a Hamiltonian system we utilize the SFF to distinguish a quantum many-body chaotic phase and the prethermal many-body localization. We observe the dip-ramp-plateau behavior of random matrix theory in the chaotic phase and contrast the scaling of the plateau time in system size between the many-body chaotic and localized phases. Finally, we probe the eigenstate statistics by measuring a generalization of the SFF, known as the partial SFF, and observe distinct behaviors in the purity of the reduced density matrices in these two phases.

Additionally, we provide numerical evidence for the frame potential, measuring the 2-distance from the Haar ensemble, which confirms the convergence of random MPS to Haar-like behavior for χ ≫ N .

It provides a general unified method capable of converting contextuality into bipartite nonlocality. However, experimental tests of the inequalities are challenging and noise sensitive, and the requirements for the quantum states purity, dimensionality, and degree of entanglement have blocked the experimental implementation. We report a first experimental test of Cabello’s inequalities from state-independent contextuality sets, by leveraging two-photon high-dimensional orbital angular momentum entangled states. Distinguishing from the standard single-particle ways, our experiment spotlights that the state-independent contextuality sets can be tested in a bipartite scenario, by which the “compatibility” or “sharpness” loopholes can be effectively avoided.

Specifically, we present quantum distributions obtained from a simple network that cannot be reproduced by classical models, even when the latter are based on more powerful networks. In particular, we show that in a large ring network, the knowledge of only a small part of the network structure (involving only two or three neighboring parties) is enough to guarantee nonlocality over the entire network. This shows that quantum network nonlocality can be extremely robust to changes in the network topology.
